Live at Loch Lomond Wiki Information
Live at Loch Lomond
, Scotland's newest festival, took place in the grounds of Balloch Country Park on the 4 & 5 August 2007.
Nearly 30,000 people were there over the two days and, although it rained all day on Sunday, it didn't stop people going to the concerts, seeing performances from Dirty Pretty Things, Feeder, Starsailor, Supergrass, 2 Many DJs and Sunday's closing act, Faithless.
The dance tent was full over the entire weekend with top acts including Pete Tong, David Guetta and Carl Cox.
Hacienda Classics Tent, celebrating 25 years of one of the world's most famous clubs, was packed on Sunday with DJ sets from Boney, Jon Mancini, Peter Hook, A Guy Called Gerald and Allister Whitehead.
Fans also got the chance to see their musical heroes spin their favourite tunes in the Rock DJ Tent which featured Belle & Sebastian, Bez, Ocean Colour Scene, The View and Embrace.
Sunday Mail's E-mail stage in association with Box featured up and coming acts to keep an eye on in the future including The Black Arrows, Cortez, The Haze, The Shakes, The Law and The Hedrons who closed Sunday's proceedings with a brilliant set.
A second Live at Loch Lomond fetival was held in the summer of 2008, however this year it was less successful due to UpFront security staff on site at the festival refusing entry to many fans due to "health and safety reasons" (i.e. lighting was inadequate along a few streches of walkway) causing many bands (including some local bands who saw this as a great opportunity) to play to as little as 10 people.
It was reciently revealed in a local newspaper that it is likely the festival held in 2008 would be the last Live at Loch Lomand as promoters feel that the weather conditions are too poor to run a festival. However, a final decision regarding the festival's fate has yet to be made.
