About this event

We're delighted to announce Musicfest Mainstage 2025 - the largest event in the Bothwell Scarecrow Festival.

Britpop legends The Bluetones, The Supernaturals and Republica are lined-up along with Jumbo Gibson, Kevin McGuire and Brielle to rock our big stage at this year's festival. There are more act announcements coming soon and tickets are already selling faster than previous years, so make sure to grab yours now.

Musicfest Mainstage is a family-friendly event and kids young and old can look forward to a whole host of amazing activities (including the amazing Singing Kettle and Astral Circus!). As usual, there will be a funfair, inflatables, stalls, food vendors, and multiple bars with refreshments for well-behaved adults... and so much more!

Lynne Hoggan is back as our fabulous host and Alasdair McDougall joins us this year as our onstage DJ making, keeping the festival vibes flowing between acts.

Children age 12 & under go free along with a paid adult. 13 - 17 year-olds require a Youth Ticket for entry and all children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.

Note: All tickets are non-refundable and the line up may be subject to change or cancellation of acts due to unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, tickets will remain valid for any rescheduled event.
