Scotland’s Hydro Connect festival took place at the weekend in the picturesque setting of Inveraray Castle with headliners Kasabian, Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand.
The 3 day event also saw sets from Manic Street Preachers, Paolo Nutini, Sigur Ros, Elbow, Spiritualized, Mercury Rev, The Breeders, The Gossip, Duffy and many many more.
The festival boasted a fine selection of high quality tuck, including Scotland’s best local produce, alongside the usual festival staples, the mainstay of Scotland’s diet, the humble chip.
Clash was on the scene, braving the mud and the midges, to bring you our comprehensive and individual take on proceedings. Check out our reviews below.
