RETREAT! FESTIVAL 2011

Event Information

IT'S BACK! A fourth year for the award-winning independent micro-festival celebrating Edinburgh's contribution to the international pop underground!

Retreat! was founded in 2008 to create space for Edinburgh acts amid the bustle of the festivals, and has evolved into a riotous A.G.M. for the capital's independent pop scene.

For the second year running, Retreat! will be held in one of our all-time favourite venues: between the gold lame curtains of Pilrig St Paul's Church Hall, right on the border of Edinburgh Town and the City of Leith.

Names so far confirmed include Broken Records, Jesus h Foxx, Meursault, The Scottish Enlightenment, Skeleton Bob, The Leg, Rob St John, The Pineapple Chunks, Two Wings, eagleowl, ballboy and FOUND - with more to be announced over the coming weeks.

Retreat! stands for: -
� all-ages admission
� the most extravagant staging and costumery no money can buy
� delicious foodstuffs from our favourite local caterers
� film screenings at dinnertime (if we can get the projector to work)...

...Expect a deranged gala-day environment, in which anything might happen and some things probably will!
