A unique and very special boutique festival celebrating some of the most diverse sounds of underground electronic music, Gottwood is a jewel of a festival in the summer calendar returning in 2014 for Chapter Five.

Gottwood Festival 2014 takes place at Gottwood, Carreglwyd, Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey between Thu 19th to Sun 22nd June 2014. More info and ticket links here.
