TENEMENT Trail is celebrating its first ever sold out event and biggest festival yet.
Scotland’s festival for music discovery took over Glasgow’s top live music venues at the weekend, with a line-up including Louis Berry, The Big Moon, Baby Strange and headliners The Temperance Movement.
With secret sets, over 50 performances, thousands of fans and countless epic moments, Tenement Trail 2017 was the biggest and best yet. The brainchild of the team behind Tenement TV, TT17 celebrates music discovery at its core.
As is always the case, Tenement Trail 2017 was not shy of those special moments that will live long in the memories of both artist and fan alike. From Liverpool based troubadour Louis Berry’s heartfelt declaration of Glasgow as his “second city” and Dead Pretties’ unique hold over the crowd to Sway’s Rod Stewart-esque inflatables; the party atmosphere at TT17 was like nothing that you could find anywhere else.
By 2PM, the festival was trending on Twitter as #TT17 highlighted excited crowds, buzzing queues on the streets, backstage banter and antics. The ultimate festival for music discovery is here to stay.
Intangible moments such as those aside, the reverence and uniqueness of the event could also be felt in the sets of band who chose Scotland’s festival for music discovery as the launching pad for new material. In spite of their debut not arriving for another couple of weeks, Catholic Action decided to break out some as yet unaired tracks from its proposed follow-up whilst Scottish alt-rock titans Fatherson adopted a new guise in order to preview their forthcoming third LP in front of an enthralled hometown crowd.
