FLY Open Air Festival has added more names to its 2023 line-up, with he event retiring to the historic Hopetoun House, just outside Edinburgh, on 20th and 21st May.

Now in its 10th year, FLY Open Air started life in the centre of Scotland's capital, at Princess Street Gardens, before relocating to its current location — a Grade-I listed building which took 53 years to build, with construction finally finishing in 1752. The festival sets music in the English garden-style landscaped park outside the stately home, with Boiler Room down to host one of the sound systems.
