Skye Live has announced its line-up, for its new two day festival taking place between the 3rd -4th April 2015 in Portree over the Easter weekend. Friday’s line-up includes: Felix Martin of Hot Chip, Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston, Jasper James, Ali McFly, Munroso and Ali MacLennan.  Saturdays line-up is the Peatbog Faeries, Donnie Munro, Shooglenifty, Nitework, Fat Suit, Amy Baillie, Sinks Ships, Doc Livingstone, Brendan Martin and Skyefall. In addition an afterparty on Saturday with Optimo will bring the event to a close.

In all a total of ten acts will perform at ‘The Lump’ — the traditional home of the Isle of Skye Highland Games

Skye Live is the brainchild of local promoters and DJs Niall Munro and Ali MacIsaac, who are hoping to go some way to fill the void for local festival-goers since the last Isle of Skye Music Festival was held at Ashaig in 2007. It is hoped to attract between 800 and 1,000 people to the festival with both day and weekend tickets available. Tickets now on sale.

Strictly over 16's with ID required. Licensed bar, food stools. Friday £30, Saturday £45, weekend £65.
