Ewan McVicar’s Pavilion Festival reveals 2025 lineup

Pavilion presents Ewan McVicar & Pals comes to Low Green in Ayr on Saturday 3rd May 2025. A highly anticipated festival this year, the team behind it have revealed this year’s lineup…

Ewan McVicar, known for tracks like ‘Groove Thang’ and ‘Tell Me Something Good’, brings Pavilion Fest back to his hometown for another round of action. 

Ewan will play B2B with Ben Hemsley, DJ Seinfeld, Sally C, Annie Mac, and Rory McVicar. Elsewhere on the lineup, there’s Robert Hood, Ogazón, Dart, Optimo (Espacio), Posthuman, and more. 

This year, the festival has been stepped up a level. New features include enhanced weatherproofing with a state-of-the-art, 5,000-capacity tent - the Electric Brae tent - plus experiential lighting and high-quality sound. Punters can also find pop-ups and secret bars hidden across the site. 

About the festival, Ewan said, “It’s always been about bringing something different to Ayr; DJs and artists that would never make it to the west coast normally. We are an independent festival, so it’s about helping the town, supporting home-grown, grass-roots talent, and celebrating the community.”

The day after the festival, Pavilion brings STREETrave Ayr Beach Festival to the people, with performances from Happy Mondays, 2 Bad Mice, A Guy Called Gerald, and more.
