FANS OF traditional Scottish music are in for a treat this August as Cowal Gathering unveils the line-up for its much-loved Live Music Tent.
Taking centre stage on Saturday, August 30, the tent will host a dynamic trio of bands guaranteed to get crowds on their feet: Rhuvaal, The Inverhooley Ceilidh Band and the much-anticipated debut of The Ross Miller Band.
The tent, renowned for its electric atmosphere and top- tier talent, will once again be one of the Gathering’s most popular attractions.
Leading the line-up is Rhuvaal, the high-energy tradfusion band who last played the Live Music Tent in 2022.
Known for their infectious stage presence and modern take on folk tunes, Rhuvaal are firm favourites with the Cowal Gathering audience.
Returning for a fourth year is The Inverhooley Ceilidh Band, the Gathering’s resident party- starters, who have become a cornerstone of the Live Music Tent experience, ensuring everyone from ceilidh veterans to first-timers join in the fun.
Completing the line-up, and debuting the Live Music Tent, is The Ross Miller Band, led by world champion piper Ross Miller.
A renowned figure in Scotland’s piping scene, Ross brings a wealth of experience and innovation to the festival stage.
A member of both the grade one Inveraray and District Pipe Band and the globally acclaimed Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Ross is known for combining tradition with bold, contemporary flair.
Cowal Gathering Chairman, David Mitchell MBE, shared his excitement for this year’s musical line-up: “Music is a huge part of the Cowal Gathering experience and this year I’m excited to see the crowd’s reaction as three of the
best festival bands get together for an afternoon of fantastic music.
“This is one party you won’t want to miss.”
Entry to the Live Music Tent event is included in the general admission ticket to the Gathering, offering access to a full afternoon of high- calibre live music alongside the Highland Games competitions, cultural displays, and family entertainment.
David Mitchell added: “It really is one of Scotland’s best family days out.”
