The end of the month sees the second MV festival take over Aviemore and the organisers have been kind enough to offer us a couple of tickets for the event.
The festival is hosted over three nights from the 1st of March and sees multiple venues hosting a wide range of music and comedy acts.
Toploader was announced as headliner of the Saturday night, late last year, and they join a bill of 33 music acts (and counting!!). Katie Sutherland, Brown Bear & The Bandits, The Dangleberries and Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell (formerly of BAD COMPANY) & Friends have also been announced. The festival have not been shy to invite back acts who impressed last year including Be Like Pablo, Last Summer Effect, Slip Stream and Smiling Ivy.
Local acts are also very well represented whether that’s The Oxides, Megan Blyth (also returning), Purple Divide, Toby Michaels Rolling Damned and Jemma Tweedie. The festival will also be a great opportunity to see acts new to the area including Beccy Atherton, Down to My Last, Sam Brett and We Found Out.
On the comedy line-up are Terry Alderton, Andrew Maxwell, Phil Nicol, Craig Campbell, Tony Jameson, Iszi Lawrence and Billy Kirkwood.
