Doune the Rabbit Hole, now the third biggest festival in Scotland, is returning following a two-year break due to the pandemic.

Festival director Jamie Murray said: “We’re delighted to be able to present the lineup for this year’s Doune the Rabbit Hole.

"We have pulled together a long weekend featuring international artists, hotly tipped bands, bands rolled over from Doune 2020 and Doune 2021, DJs across the music spectrum and party acts to form what we think is an unbeatable festival experience this July. 

“Again, I’d like to thank all of the Doune the Rabbit Hole festival goers who have rolled over their tickets from both 2020 and 2021. As an independent festival, your support has been invaluable through the pandemic.

"We can’t wait to be back on-site to welcome Doune festival-goers returning after two years of not being able to present the festival.” 

All of those who have retained tickets for the postponed 2020 and 2021 festivals will be able to use these for the 2022 festival and Doune the Rabbit Hole will honour free tickets for children who were 12 or under at the time of the 2020 or 2021 festival. 

This year’s festival also features a huge activities programme including a Special Activities and Workshops area featuring drumming, woodworking and more, along with family activities including a huge outdoor play arena, storytelling and night-time cinema

There is also an ‘Out of the Ordinary’ arena featuring everything from acrobats to clowns and stand-up comedy.

Elsewhere on site is a Yoga and Wellbeing area with yoga sessions, massage and more extra-special performances on a variety of stages including bandersnatch folk stage and The Warren Woodland Dance Arena.
