CARLISLE CASTLE TO HOST FIRST EVER MUSIC FESTIVAL

The first ever Borderlands Festival is a feast of musical talent from across the ages, with legendary headliners Happy Mondays and Friendly Fires alongside a whole host of DJ talent: KiNK, Nightmares on Wax, Patrick Topping, Eats Everything and Sarah Story.

 

On September 8th and 9th you will see the very first major music festival to be hosted in Carlisle Castle. Just imagine partying in that courtyard, surrounded by the battlements that incarcerated Mary Queen of Scots and survived multiple raids from the Scots and Border Reivers.

 

Borderlands was set up with a clear vision to showcase the many great things the region has to offer; from landmarks to local talent. Local heroes Novablood, Delagrave and Uber’s Ki Creighton will also be performing, complemented by a range of artisan food & drink outlets from Cumbria and the surrounding area.
