To enhance the festival experience, organizers have introduced the Electric Brae tent, a state-of-the-art, 5,000-capacity structure equipped with advanced weatherproofing, experiential lighting, and high-quality sound. Attendees can also explore various pop-ups and secret bars scattered across the site, adding an element of discovery to the festivities.
Reflecting on the festival’s mission, Ewan McVicar stated, “It’s always been about bringing something different to Ayr; DJs and artists that would never make it to the west coast normally. We are an independent festival, so it’s about helping the town, supporting home-grown, grass-roots talent, and celebrating the community.”
Following the main event, Pavilion Festival will present the STREETrave Ayr Beach Festival on Sunday, May 4, featuring performances from the Happy Mondays, 2 Bad Mice, A Guy Called Gerald, and more, offering a nostalgic nod to the region’s rich musical heritage.
