jocktoberfest-2015-band-update-696x1024Following on from the confirmation of the dates and theme the first wave of acts have brought together a mix of genres with some local favorites as well as acts from a little further afield.

The first eleven acts includeĀ  WoodenboxĀ  who were described as “The perfect summer soundtrack” by Scotland on Sunday, Man of Moon who will be supporting The Twilight Sad on tour and Glaswegian six-piece Pronto Mama.

Returning to the festival after a 2014 with their bran of Psychedelic Rock areĀ  Delta Mainline and will be joined on the bill by The Galipaygos who released ‘Plain Sailing‘ last year.

Hitting the comeback trail, with EP to be launched imminently, The Side play the festival with front man Winnie having performing on his own last year.

Iain McLaughlin & The Outsiders also return to the festival, and are still riding high the release of ‘Falling Through the Dark‘ in 2014.

The Outsiders were mentioned in a recent article in The Clash magazine, so too were singer song-writer Josephine Sillars and Silver Coast. The latter promise to make amends for their late call off last year that saw them having to cancel their debut at the festival.

Crispy Of The Shameless are also announced, and bringing the funk, are the ever reliable The Leonard Jones Potential.
