Rock The Fort 2011 comes to a close…

May 9, 2011

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who attended this year’s Rock The Fort and helped to make it such a successful festival!

We’d also like to thanks all the amazing bands who played including: Bronto Skylift, Homework, James Mackenzie & The Aquascene, Kitty The Lion, The Stu Goodall Band, Russian Ninjas, Mitchell Museum, Pareto, We Are Soul, Panda Su, Lost In Audio, Naked Strangers, I Build Collapsible Mountains and Great White Elephant and The Shine.

The festival would not have been possible without the generous support of our partners and sponsors; The Scottish Six Days Trial, Event Scotland, HAIL Music, Highland Backline Hire, CMPS Productions and UHI College.

We fully intended to return even bigger and better next year – in the meantime stay tuned for all the latest reviews, round-ups, photos and videos from Rock The Fort 2011!

See you all next year!
