Solas is an independent festival, made in Scotland, with the support and co-operation of our partner organisations Greenbelt and Christian Aid Scotland.

Solas – an all-age weekend to light up the Scottish festival landscape with a vivid mix of music, debate, theatre, comedy, film and visual art – a unique location to celebrate and question our commitments to art, faith and justice within Scotland’s cultural life.
