Manchester and Brighton Psych Fest’s sister festival returns to Scotland’s capital this September.
Edinburgh Psych Fest, the sister festival to the UK’s leading psychedelic music and arts festivals — Manchester and Brighton Psych Fest — has announced its first wave of acts for 2026.
Set to take place on Sunday, September 6th, the fourth instalment of the one-day festival will feature electronic synth-pop headliners Stereolab, Brooklyn post-punks Model/Actriz, psych-garage rock duo GHOSTWOMAN and ‘60s psychedelic rockers The Mystery Lights.
