New director driving new ideas
Benedetti has declared that the year’s festival, running from August 5-28 this year, is on a “trajectory of breaking down audience-to-artist barriers”.
The 2023 programme contains 295 separate events and artists set to perform include the likes of Alison Goldfrapp, Jake Bugg, Velvet Underground and John Cale among many more.
The festival’s Royal Mile headquarters will be turned into an “open to all” green room hosting free events every afternoon, with shows catering for children as young as six part of this summer’s line-up.
