Tiree Music Festival is a Scottish folk music festival held annually on the Island of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides.[1][2] The festival was founded in 2010 by resident Stewart MacLennan and local musician Daniel Gillespie of the band Skerryvore. It has received several awards from the Scottish tourism industry: Best Small Festival by Scottish Events Awards in 2012 and 2013;[3] and 2013 Best Cultural Event by Highland and Island Tourism and Scottish Thistle Awards.[4]
In August 2013, the weekend festival was attended by more than 1500 people.[3] It incorporates three stages: an open air main stage, a marquee-housed community village stage and an indoor ceilidh stage.[5]
On 6 July 2023, organisers cancelled the 2023 festival a day before events were scheduled to begin because of "extreme weather".[6]
