Arbroath Fest 2027

About Arbroath Fest

Inchcape Park puts the site beside the Signal Tower Museum and close to Arbroath Harbour. For 2027, Arbroath Fest runs there from Fri 6 Aug to Sat 7 Aug as an open-air music festival near Dundee. The format is two days.

The event began in 2025, the same year the organising CIC was incorporated on 12 March. That debut open-air edition was sized at up to 1,100 people; in 2026 it expanded to two days and used two stages for the first time.

Who Is It For?

The crowd is all-ages and family-friendly. Children aged 15 and under can attend free on child tickets, but they must be with an adult guardian aged 18 or over. One guardian can accompany up to three children.

The music brief reaches from dance and pop to rock, indie, punk and folk. Food and drink stalls sit alongside family-friendly entertainment, so the day is not framed only around stage times.

The Venue and Site

The site is an open-air park setting beside the Signal Tower Museum and close to Arbroath Harbour. It is Inchcape Park rather than an indoor arena.

Facilities include a bar, food trucks and market stalls. Disability access is part of the ticket set-up, and wristbands allow re-entry.
