A huge thank you to all of the budding Scottish artists who have sent in their applications to play on the Discovery Stage at #HF26. Without exaggeration, we must have received at least 500 applications in the last 12 months which we know is a massive compliment for the festival and the work that goes into having a second stage.

Unfortunately, we have now decided to close all applications for 2026.

However, if you are interested in being in consideration for 2027, please make a note to reach back out to us in July/August next year to submit your details. More details to follow and please make sure you are following our Facebook page for updates.

Our Artist Liaison, Marion McDonald, is working tirelessly to find the very best local talent to play up on the Discovery Stage in Pitlochry next year. We will be looking to start announcing the lineup in October and November. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
