We welcome the Baghdaddies after their storming Bo Airigh stage set at Knockengorroch 2017. An exhilarating cocktail of Balkan, ska, Caribbean and Latin grooves shot through with Geordie humour, sizzling brass and jangling guitars played with furious energy and theatrical humour. Dancing is the only option!

SUPA & Da Kryptonites – High energy Edinburgh 10 piece. Pulled in picked up & slammed wid Ska, Funk & Grime from da get go! An eclectic mix of madness, featuring horns, big vocals & BarZ! Dutty dutty barz! Oi.

Tom Spirals & Escape Roots – Out of Galloway making big waves internationally and in the local scene, crafting uplifting riddims with a conscious message and foundation shaking bass.
Tom regularly holds down the mic for many well respected producers in the scene such as Knockengorroch residents Mungo’s HiFi & DreadSquad.

Dem Man Productions – Daniel and Ross of Basstonic fame previously from The Venue and both from Dumfries & Galloway promote all things from the Scottish underground scene. Hip hop and grime to all out Jungle, Drum ‘n’ Bass and everything in between!

Easy Skankin Crew – Dumfries’ leading ska/reggae/roots dub DJs will take you on a sweet ride through Ska, Rocksteady, Boss Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, Roots and beyond. ‘One love-One family-Easy Skankin’

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Benjamin Zephaniah at the age of 65. One of the greatest poets of our time and a resolute campaigner against political injustice, he was a true pioneer and innovator.In 2019 he performed at Knockengorroch Festival with his band The Revolutionary Minds, where he wowed the crowd with his dub-reggae juggernauts strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he called 'street politics’. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family at this time. 📷 Douglas Robertson ... See MoreSee Less
