Thursday's opening night in partnership with The List hosts a female-led roster of acts including the groundbreaking RandB star Ray BLK, winner of BBC Sound of 2017, and the universally acclaimed experimental pop duo Let's Eat Grandma. Bass-heavy hip hop direct from the East Coast (of Scotland) is provided by the all-female rhyme-masters The Honey Farm, with Edinburgh's underground, electronic duo Chuchoter and notorious Glasgow DJ Sarra Wild bookending the celebratory bill.
On Friday there will be nine hours of seamless music from 6pm - 3am, bringing together some of the finest electronica currently being made in the UK with a live set from London-based George FitzGerald fresh from his BBC Radio 1 residency, and Ninja Tune's Nathan Fake taking us through til 3am alongside local duo Maranta and acclaimed producer and singer Kelly Lee Owens.
Crystal Fighters bring the party on Saturday, with their party-fixated electro punchiness, and evocative, euphoria-inducing summery sound, followed by a late night session from one of the UK's best known electronic artists, Maya Jane Coles.
Hugely popular US phenomenon Cigarettes After Sex close the festival, lighting up the main auditorium of Leith Theatre for one final night with their distinct brand of euphoric and atmospheric crafted songwriting. Support comes from Brooklyn-based indie rockers Miss Grit, dreamlike two-piece ST.MARTiiNS, the thumping Man of Moon, post-punk quintet Acrylic and rising star Zoe Graham.
