Tiree Music Festival (TMF) is gearing up for its 2025 edition, after this year’s roaring success saw a £1.3 million economic boost to the island.
Organisers of the boutique festival now have their sights set on summer 2025, revealing its return from 11-13 July; tickets will go on sale exclusively to their mailing list at 5pm, Friday November 29.
The festival’s two stages – The Big Top and Elevate Stage – along with acoustic tent, The Wee Top, will once again be jam packed with Scottish and international artists spanning roots, Celtic, folk, acoustic and pop music.
The first names on the bill will be unveiled in the coming months, so watch this space.
In 2025 visitors can also expect new art installations on site and built on the popularity of 2024’s beach yoga, an even broader fringe programme, with a focus on wellness and family-friendly fun.
The festival volunteers’ flash mob will return with a new routine that encourages audience participation, and event-goers should be on the lookout for other pop-up performances.
Also new for next year will be a meet-and-greet zone, giving fans the chance to chat and get photographs with their favourite artists.
With a limited capacity of just 2,100 and 13 consecutive sell outs to its name, Tiree Music Festival is famously a ‘hot ticket’.
The festival has contributed a significant £9.4 million to the island economy over its 12 editions, attracting upwards of 24,000 people to the white sand shores of Tiree.
The 2024 edition continued to spread in notoriety, with nearly a fifth making the journey to Tiree from other parts of the UK, Europe and further afield.
This repeated success has put the event in the spotlight once more, nominated for two national awards.
TMF is shortlisted for Festival of the Year 2024 at the Scottish Live Music Awards and Small Event of the Year at the National Outdoor Events Association Awards 2024.
The festival was a huge hit with attendees, with 80 per cent rating the festival as excellent and not one attendee noting it as average or disappointing.
Daniel Gillespie, artistic director for TMF, said: "As a team we are driven by doing Tiree proud and sharing what a special place this is with others.
"To hear that so many people loved their time at the festival and on the island this summer only inspires us to continue delivering the very best small festival experience for all.
“We are incredibly proud to be nominated for two national awards this year – this recognition means a great deal to our small team who work tirelessly to make TMF what it is.
"For 2025 we’re looking to build on this success and explore new ways that we can put a smile on people’s faces and create unforgettable memories."
