AUGUST 30TH - SEPTEMBER 1ST 2018
Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland
Everyone at Electric Fields is happy to announce the first wave of the 2018 lineup! Weve pulled together a mighty fine lineup to help us celebrate our 5th birthday and are delighted to be welcoming a collection of some of the most exciting bands and artists from around the world to a pocket of idyllic Scottish countryside.

Were welcoming three HUGE headliners led by the mighty Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds, for what will be one of the most intimate festival shows of Noels career and we cant wait. Indie legends James (Thursday night headline) will be bringing their back catalogue of anthems, while Leftfield will close the party on Saturday night with whats set to be a truly memorable live set.

Alongside the big guns we have some of the most exciting artists from around Scotland and further afield with the likes of Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers, Teenage Fanclub, Ezra Furman, Shame and a ton more.

As well as an amazing musical line-up, we can also reveal that after a smashing debut last year, Scotlands finest wordsmiths Neu Reekie! are back to showcase the best in spoken word on their own dedicated stage. To celebrate their fifth birthday in style, EF18 is set to expand its entertainment offering where people can expect to laugh out loud at an extended comedy and cabaret programme. One of Scotlands most respected venues, Sneaky Petes, returns for another year with a curated lineup of groundbreaking electronic music.

Following on from last years nomination for Best Family Festival at the UK Festival Awards, the Our Kids Electric area returns bigger and better with a whole host of new entertainment and workshops and of course, the legendary adventure playground is a hop skip and a jump away!

Food lovers can rejoice as Scotlands best street food purveyors The Pitt will be back to deliver an awesome culinary experience at the festival. There also be specialist cocktails bars and our massive craft and ale bar returns with a wide selection on offer to quench your thirst.

Dont miss out on your chance to join the last big party of the summer and experience three days of incredible music, brilliant food and great entertainment with an intimate, community atmosphere where everybody is welcome.

Electric Fields is a festival where Dizzee Rascal, Kate Tempest and Frightened Rabbit can share the same set times and each thrive. Its the type of festival that deserves to flourish

The location in the gently rolling grounds of the Queensbury Estate on the banks of the River Nith is a verdant gem
