CamperVan Live Lounge Scotland
Description
CamperVan Live Lounge Scotland invites you to a two-night, off-grid live music campout tucked away in the magical Scottish Borderlands.
Set beside a babbling brook and an incredible timber yurt, this intimate gathering features some of the UK’s finest independent touring artists, with music spanning folk, roots, surf, soul, blues, rock and country. Performances are close and unfiltered, shared under open skies, around glowing campfires, in a place that feels quietly special.
By day, slow the pace, explore the landscape, or simply sit with good company and the sounds of nature. As night falls, music fills the air and the site comes alive with warmth, conversation and connection.
No crowds. No distractions. Just honest live music, a beautiful hidden setting, and a community brought together for two unforgettable nights in the Borderlands.
