Mull Music Festival

About The Festival

The next Mull Music Festival will take place over the weekend of Friday 26th to Sunday 28th April 2024.

The Mull Music Festival is a weekend of Scottish music featuring mainly folk-rock groups, Scottish dance bands, traditional musicians and singers. It usually takes place over the last full April weekend in bar venues in Tobermory, and the events are free.

This is not an official festival page. Information on each Mull Music Festival is posted here once details become generally available on the web or social media. It should be possible to get further details directly from Mull Music Festival venues from previous years.

View videos from the Mull Music Festival on YouTube.

Accommodation at Back Brae Lodge is already booked for the Mull Music Festival. There is no waiting list so to receive an email message if any Music Festival accommodation becomes available, sign up for news.

There is an unrelated classical music festival called Mendelssohn On Mull which normally takes place in September each year.

This information was last checked on April 30th 2023.
