Edinburgh Psych Fest

Edinburgh Psych Fest, the sister festival to the UK’s leading Psychedelic music and arts festival Manchester Psych Fest, will launch this September with the inaugural event set to take place across the city’s iconic Summerhall venue.

The new psychedelic and psychedelic-influenced music festival will be headlined by N.Y.C’s Bodega with their unique blend of post-punk and art-rock, alongside London’s Sorry known for their eclectic mix of indie-grunge electronica.

Joining Bodega & Sorry on the day will be dreamy psych-shoegaze outfit bdrmm, psych-post-punk five-piece Ulrika Spacek, hotly tipped psychedelic-infused goth-post-punk singer-songwriter Heartworms, Swiss psych-jazz band L’Eclair, Indie six piece Low Hummer and psychedelic cosmo-funk ensemble Takehsi’s Cashew.

Edinburgh Psych Fest will also showcase some of Scotland’s best local talent with The Kundalini Genie, Bikini Body, No Windows, Isabella Strange and DJ sets, courtesy of online community radio station EHFM, completing the lineup. 

Launching on Sunday 3rd September the festival promises an unforgettable day filled with mind-bending sounds, trippy visuals and a celebration of all things psychedelic.
