Enjoy Music Festival rocks Aberdeen

The north-east got its own slice of Scottish summer festival vibes over the weekend – complete with sun, rain, mud and epic queues for portable loos.

But unlike some of its larger scale rivals, this year Enjoy Music Festival in Aberdeen’s Hazlehead Park was a truly family affair.

Nearly 6,000 people from young tots to hard partying pensioners took in the afternoon and evening of musical entertainment.

Organiser Mark Lenthall said: “We were absolutely thrilled that the people of Aberdeen and the north-east were keen to turn out for live music.

“One of the highlights for us was seeing families there for the first time.

“Our family fun area was popular all day and it was great seeing loads of kids dancing at the front of the stage.

“We really want the festival to be a celebration of music for whoever you are – from youngsters to the older generation.”

There were a few hiccups along the way, with missing toilets causing a headache for organisers Digital Love at the start of the day.

To their credit, they managed to get the problem sorted quickly and rearranged stage times to allow all the acts to get their moment in the spotlight.

Refreshments were also a little tricky to get a hold of, involving a treasure hunt style quest around the site to find the holders of the beer tokens.

Mr Lenthall said: “Frankly, we had a supplier that let us down and we had to go to plan B.

“By working with the stage manager we managed to get everyone on the stages so it mean the headliners were on time.

“I would apologise for the slight delay but for us it didn’t spoil a great day.”

However these minor issues were forgiven as the rain cleared away for main stage headliners Primal Scream.

With Bobby Gillespie resplendent in a bright red suit, he had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand with classic tracks like Jailbird, Country Girl and 90s anthem Come Together.

On the opposite side of the field dance music enthusiasts in the Red Bull tent were also having a rave of a time.

Of course as the sun set on a family orientated day, tragedy struck in London, as the capital was hit by another terror attack.

And with many acts on the bill from that part of the world, organisers were keen to show solidarity.

Mr Lenthall added: “While we were enjoying ourselves on Saturday night we had some band members and guests coming up from London so are thoughts were very much, and still are, with people affected by London Bridge.”

Plans are already in place for next years festival.
