THE countdown to the 2025 Knockengorroch Festival is underway as the final acts for this year’s line-up are announced.
Running from May 22–25 in the hills next to Galloway Forest Park, this year’s festival will welcome back long-time favourite acts, and exciting new artists, from Scotland, the UK, and around the world.
Exciting acts already announced for May include Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Omega Nebula, Kinnaris Quintet, General Levy, The Fontanas, Moxie, Euphonique, and Serial Killaz, among others.
This year’s festival will embody the theme of survival. Addressing both the overall global creative landscape, Knockengorroch Festival 2025 will share its passion for a present – and future full of resistance, resilience, regeneration and new beginnings.
Final acts announced to complete the music line up for 2025 include: one of Mali’s leading female artist Rokia Koné with a beautiful set teeming with power, magic, universality, activism, and love.
Hailing from Australia with seven records under their belt, ecological-family-funk-swing band Formidable Vegetable will be adding Knockengorroch to their impressive performance roster, with a delicious mash-up of live instrumentation and tasty ‘beets’.
Returning for the first time since 2018 is the powerful one woman electro-orchestra, Bunty. Using synths, toys, ukulele, voice, effects pedals, and a mash of real and made-up languages, she whispers, bellows, beatboxes, claps, and stamps to produce impressive vocal harmonies for her eclectic hook-heavy tunes.
Glasgow based post punk band Girobabies will also return to the festival stage, bringing with them their own brand of baffling post punk party music to serve up social commentary with a hefty dollop of gutter-rock dystopian grit and a sprinkle of fun.
