New Acts + Magical On Site Activity
We're very excited to announce the addition of Gomez, The Young Knives, Black Lips, Joan as Police Woman, Dave Clarke (performing a rare electro set), Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Passenger to the festival line up, promising to add their very own twist to the proceedings.

The fantastic Gomez were last seen recording a new single last last year entitled Moon And Sun and we’re delighted to have them play the Guitars & Other Machines Stage. Meanwhile up and coming festival favourites’ The Young Knives will add flavours of indie punk rock to the festival’s musical melting pot, shaking up the waters of Loch Fyne in the process. Joining them will be Brooklyn three piece Joan as Police Woman with front woman Joan Wasser’s mystical, soulful sound and poetic libretto set to provide festival goers with a chance to get lost in a breathtaking set and amidst heather clad hills.

The addition of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Black Lips will be a delight for music fans with Black Lips being renowned for their phenomenal live shows and many festival goers being familiar with Stephen Malkmus from his days in cult band Pavement.

Additionally, Glasgow electronic stalwarts Soma, Slam and Optimo have been confirmed as curators for the Unknown Pleasures tent, where the legendary Dave Clarke will be performing a very rare electro set. Over the next few weeks Soma and Optimo will be booking more hot electronic talent as well as programming in performances from top club nights Vegas! and Club Noir. It’s safe to say the lineup will be second to none!

Deep in the heart of the forest, Red Bull will be throwing a party that forgets it’s 2008. Leave the shackles of the 20th century behind and lose yourself with a hearty slice of music, dancing, drinking and merry making, keep it quiet though, this is an experience that is for you to discover! But before you embark on your journey, remember the forest can be a dangerous place, so beware of highway men...stand and deliver!

Kopparberg will be providing music fans with the ‘One Big Tree’ chill-out experience under the amazing natural canopy of the ‘Kopparberg Tree’ which is situated in the Grand pavilion tent. With live DJs playing throughout the day and into the night, revelers can relax and enjoy an ice-cold Kopparberg in the ultimate fairytale atmosphere of this sumptuous area.

Expect more Hydro Connect announcements over the next few weeks...and remember, only tell your best friends!

Quite like the sound of Kopparberg's One Big Tree...
