We wanted to share that Lochaber Live will be taking a wee break and the event won’t be going ahead this year.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2024 & 2025 events so special, including our brilliant artists and fantastic audiences.

While we’re taking some time out, we’d love to look back on the memories. If you have any favourite moments or photos from Lochaber Live, please share them in the comments or tag us!

The stage is set, the food vans smell great, the beer is cold and we can’t wait for you to join us. ❤️ 💃 🕺

We are less than 24 hours away and all set for a sell-out! 🙌

The rain is falling, but that won't dampen our spirits, nor water down our frozen strawberry daiquiri and margarita machines. 🍹

Lochaber, I hope you're as excited as we are. This is going to be epic!! ❤️
