Fall-fronted Hinterland is fast approaching

On April 30 and May 1, 15 of Glasgow‘s venues will be taken over for the first ever Hinterland. Headlined by The Fall and featuring an impressive line-up including Metronomy, Sons and Daughters, Sky Larkin and The Invisible, the festival is described as “an adventure in music and art”.

It’s also surely the first chance to re-see such delights as Wild Beasts and Good Shoes for quite some time, both of which will be welcomed back with open arms.

With more than 100 bands across the two days, Hinterland’s “primary aim is to showcase established and upcoming Scottish talent – as well as some of the UK’s best emerging and established talent”.

Mike Oman, organiser of Hinterland, offered the following: “The city has a rich heritage and history in the fields of both art and music. At the turn of the century Glasgow’s very own Charles Rennie Mackintosh – who was the UK’s leading exponent of the Art Nouveau movement – developed what is now commonly known in the art world as the ‘Glasgow’ style. In the world of music the city has also nurtured numerous world-recognised bands and musicians including Simple Minds, Wet Wet Wet, AC/DC’s Angus and Malcolm Young and more recently bands like Glasvegas and Biffy Clyro.”

Tickets are still (only just) available, via us, from here.
