The Big Stooshie

The Big Stooshie is Scotland’s Charity Music Festival. This exciting three-day event will be the first date in the countrys festival calendar, taking place from 4-6th May 2012.

With both stages undercover, this festival offers a unique experience that will not be affected by the Scottish weather. Not only do we aim to bring the best live music to your ears, but we also plan to create the best festival atmosphere around. We offer camping and non-camping packages across the weekend, and have a variety of genres performing across the Arena Stage & Kingdom FM Stage. We have something for everyone… Entertainment, a wide range of food stalls, a chill-out zone and even a fun-fair, provided and co-ordinated by Howe Country Centre.

With an expected crowd of 12,000, the festival would raise upwards of £100,000 for SSAFA and Help For Heroes (Profits from ticket sales will be donated equally to these charities after costs).

In addition to raising funds for charity, The Big Stooshie also aims to provide a platform to showcase Scottish musical talent. Leading up to the festival, smaller events will take place at various Scottish venues from June 2011 until March 2012 under the banner of The Big Stooshie Scottish Tour. These events will promote The Big Stooshie concept, provide an avenue to sell tickets and also showcase Scotland’s up-and-coming musical talent. With many different bands performing at each event, the most popular will be offered the opportunity to perform in front of thousands on the big stage at the festival!

Notable acts announced so far include James, Simon & Oscar from Ocean Colour Scene (acoustic), The Damned, The Hoosiers and The Boomtown Rats.
