Indian Summer was a short
lived music festival sited in
Victoria Park, Glasgow,
Scotland
. The
two-day festival was noted for having a rather uncommonly laid-back
and cosy atmosphere and for the availability of high-quality drinks
and foodstuffs at its many stalls. Camping was not available and
there was little in the way of accommodation in the predoominantly
residential areas surrounding the site. The capacity was 6000
giving it an intimate feel.
The Festival did however do a deal with the
University of
Glasgow
to use the vacant student accommodation during the
weekend.
2006
The inaugural Indian Summer was held on the weekend of the 2nd -
3rd of September 2006. Acts included
The
Fall,
Amp Fiddler,
Hot Chip,
Mr. Scruff and
the
Yeah Yeah Yeahs and it was
critically revered amongst the music community.
2007
The 2007 event took place on the 14th and 15th of July, with
tickets (priced at £65 for the two days) available to the general
public from March. Confirmed acts included the
Flaming Lips,
The
Rapture,
Wilco,
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,
Midlake,
Jaymay and
Optimo. Festival organisers announced there would be
at least three main musical arenas at the festival: BBC 6 Music Hub
stage, Main Stage, Optimo presents Espacio tent (in association
with Four Roses), with Scottish coffee house chain Beanscene also
presenting an acoustic tent.
BBC 6 Music will be
recording the event so it can be listened to later.
Explosions in the Sky were originally
billed to play but pulled out due to family illness.
