Lanarkshire music fans' first look at map of Connect Music Festival site

Festival organisers have revealed an exciting glimpse into what Lanarkshire fans can expect at this month's Connect Music Festival with the release of the site map.

Revellers are gearing up to take in all of the weekend’s eclectic offerings when Connect kicks off at the Royal Highland Centre Showgrounds in Edinburgh from August 26-28.

From the Grand Parade and Guitar & Other Machines Stage, the Speakeasy Tent to the Tiny Changes X Gardeners Cottage, there's something for every music taste.

And Lanarkshire festival-goers can expect a further programme of events for the site's new ‘Rest and Be Thankful tent’ and 'X by Glenmorangie' exclusive whisky cocktail bar.
