The Gathering Festival Inverness 2026: Line-Up, Tickets & What to Expect
Saturday 30th May 2026 | Northern Meeting Park, Inverness
If you’re looking for one of the best music festivals in Scotland in 2026, this is it.
Widely regarded as one of Scotland’s top one-day festivals for traditional and contemporary Highland music, The Gathering Festival returns to Inverness with a high-energy day of Scottish trad and folk folk – all set against the backdrop of the The Northern Meeting Park in the Highland capital.
Headliners Skerryvore lead a stacked line-up featuring Beluga Lagoon, Torridon, Talisk, Valtos, Kim Carnie, Dana, Còisir na h-Òige and the City of Inverness Youth Pipe Band. Expect big hooks, driving rhythms and that unmistakable trad edge from start to finish.
It’s not just about the music either. Northern Meeting Park will be packed with local food, drink and artisan stalls, kids entertainment and highland dancing giving the whole day a laid-back, community feel that bigger festivals often miss.
