As the sun set on the banks of the river Clyde and the first day came to a close, festival organisers announced the final day of Scotland’s biggest electronic music festival is a sell out. Set to feature over eight hours of banging DJ sets, Sunday’s event will be headlined by icon Fatboy Slim.

Sets from the Cocoon’s Sven Väth and Laurent Gariner went down a storm with fans, whilst SLAM and Ben Klock created a euphoric atmosphere around the river Clyde. From the gates opening in the afternoon, this year’s event proved to be bigger and better than ever.

Heverlee Beer provided the refreshments and fans enjoyed street food with the sun in the sky. VIP festivalgoers were able to experience a unique VIP area which was hosted in the award-winning Riverside Museum, a first for the festival. A vintage Glasgow street opened up it’s ornate style rooms, serving up summer-themed cocktails and refreshments.

Tickets for day two are now sold out. The festival are excited to once again welcome its fans on this Bank Holiday Weekend and cannot wait to see performances from the likes of Jackmaster, Kerri Chandler and Dixon Avenue Basement Jams unfold.
