They will be performing on the Friday night, August 11th following the Tattoo and are included as part of the purchase of a Friday night ticket or weekend pass.
“We are truly thrilled to have Glass Tiger at the Festival this year” noted Festival Executive Director Elizabeth Bender. “It is especially meaningful, as Glass Tiger was going to be part of our 2020 Festival and 75th Anniversary celebrations which were unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic. It is fabulous that we are able to welcome them this year.”
“It will be great to finally have Glass Tiger up on stage” added Festival President Matthew Bennett-Monty. “The Festival team has put together an amazing lineup of entertainment this year that compliments all our other programming including the World Heavy Event competition and Outlander stars. This is a Festival year not to be missed,” Bennett-Monty stated. In addition to Glass Tiger, the Festival will also welcome a lineup that is a wonderful combination of fan favourites and new music and entertainment including Albannach, Waking Finnegan, Glengarry Bhoys, The Snake Charmer, Elora Festival Singers, The Rogersons, Gillebride MacMillan, David Leask, Bob Maclean, and Chambless & Muse.
