Some of the gang are at St James Quarter in Edinburgh today entertaining the shoppers with a preview of some of our #HiddenDoor talent. Here's @billygotwaves - pop by until 4pm to catch Ona:V and Jacuzzi General And then catch their full sets at Hidden Door Festival, opening NEXT WEEK! hiddendoorarts.org/tickets/

This year's #HiddenDoor open call for music attracted an unprecedented 634 applications! It was a mammoth task, but our panel managed to whittle it down to 16 eclectic and talented acts joining our musical line-up for your listening pleasure. So, drumroll... here's they are! Wednesday 31 May welcomes Edinburgh indie outfit Dinosaur 94 and an opening night party with the larger-than-life Blue Giant Orkestar. On Thursday 1 June, Glasgow music collective Azamiah and Leith-based folk-pop outfit The Micro Band take to the stage. Friday 2 June features Edinburgh-based alternative Hip Hop artist Billy Got Waves and the dreamy indie-electro of singer-songwriter Sarah Carton. Saturday 3 June sees Glasgow’s rave-punk poet Spencer Mason and Scottish / Malaysian-Chinese rapper and harpist Queen of Harps. Sunday 4 June presents the pulsating Glasgow-based four-piece Sweaty Palms and the sick riffs and spiteful lyrics of post-punk outfit Cowboy Hunters. Another six artists selected through the open call will perform for audiences during the day on Saturday and Sunday before the event becomes ticketed. They are Goodnight Louisa, Peplo, Blush Club, Josephine Sillars, Rhona Macfarlane and Blair Coron. Tickets for all nights on sale now!
