Divas and icons will be appearing at this year’s Knockengorroch Festival.
That’s the theme for the return of the popular music gathering, which takes place in the hills near Carsphairn between May 19 and 22.
To mark the occasion, rap artist and singer Nova Scotia The Truth took to the Deugh river to pay homage to the endangered freshwater mussel of Scottish rivers, in a scene inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus.
This year’s Knockengorroch is the first to take place since 2019, the coronavirus pandemic having put paid to plans to hold the event in the past two years.
Knockengorroch co-producer Katch Holmes said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Knockengorroch Festival with this year’s theme of divas and icons, inspired by our river’s name, meaning Black Deva.
"Our guests will be able to release their inner diva and feel their most iconic, however that manifests for you. We can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this year’s theme when we come together to celebrate music, community and land in May.”
