Nostalgia is on the menu for an exciting new festival coming to Scotland this summer. Banff Castle Rocks will transform the scenic Banff Castle in Aberdeenshire into a haven of blast-from-the-past stars and quality tribute acts on Saturday 31st August 2024. Keep an eye out for when tickets go on sale at 8am on Wednesday 1st May. 

The lineup is absolutely stacked, with Scottish hitmakers Bay City Rollers, known for their hits ‘Bye Bye Baby’ and ‘Give A Little Love’, being joined by the Kenny Lee Roberts Soul Band, who’ll bring their signature mix of Americana and Northern Soul to northern Scotland. Uncanny tribute acts will be there to rattle off plenty of hits, as the UK’s biggest Oasis tribute Definitely Oasis, Stereophonics lookalikes The Phonics and the Abba imitators Voyage are all making the journey north for some fun in the Banff sun. 

The one day event will take place in the castle grounds at the tail end of summer, and tickets will be in high demand, so don’t miss out when early bird tickets go on sale at 8am on Wednesday 1st May, right here on Skiddle!
