They will be joined by award-winning electro-trad duo Valtos, celebrated pop pairing The Eves, and returning festival favourites, the Glasgow-based Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5 for a fun-filled weekend of outstanding live music. Other Glasgow acts include Sister Madds, Conor Ferraioli, and several more.

Held in the picturesque setting of Ettrick Bay on the west side of the island, ButeFest offers the quintessential island festival experience just a 35-minute crossing over the firth of Clyde from Wemyss Bay, and boasts unrivalled views across to Arran and beyond.

First held in 2014, ButeFest has grown from a local event attracting 600 people to a 2000-capacity festival, attracting music lovers from all over the UK and generating hundreds of thousands of pounds for the local economy.

A truly family-centred festival, with free admission for under 13s this year, ButeFest allows people of all ages to soak up the joyous atmosphere, enjoy the best in live music from Scotland and beyond, as well as craft workshops, activities and stalls with local and Scottish produce.
