IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE CONNECT EXPERIENCE

Connect will celebrate the best of times – allowing us to reconnect with live music and with each other in 2022. We will share the music and our experiences as we live in the moment together. Let’s reconnect with the people and things we love. This is Connect.

Bringing you the very best music from global stars to local heroes, from grassroots to international, we are building a festival for you to discover and enjoy.  But Connect is so much more than music, it’s wrapped in outstanding experiences; comedy, spoken word, debate, visual arts as well as exceptional food and drink from local talent and big-name Scottish chefs. Open minds and open hearts are welcome.

We have chosen The Royal Highland Centre as our home for Connect 2022 – making it extremely easy to reach by public transport so as many of you as possible have the opportunity to experience and immerse yourself in this unique and extraordinary celebration of music and the arts. Let’s Connect.

A place to Connect that works for everyone

It’s important to us to make this festival as sustainable as we can. That’s why we’ve chosen a Festival site that you’ll be able to reach by public transport almost as easily as by car.

The Royal Highland Centre is just outside Edinburgh. That means it’s close to all the main rail routes and easily accessible by bus and tram.

It also offers existing power and water infrastructure, massively reducing the need for carbon-intensive and energy-hungry installations.

Best of all, its flexibility and adaptability means we can create an environment that works for all of us, whatever our needs, to make the most of our time together at the Festival. And that’s what Connect is all about.
