Loopallu is a 2-day music festival that takes place in Ullapool, in the north of Scotland. It has been held annually since 2005 attracting 2,500 people which essentially doubles the population of the town while the event is being held.

The festival takes place in Ullapool with the main stage located only metres from the shore of Loch Broom, in a big-top tent.[1] After the acts on the main stage finish a string of fringe events continue into the early hours, offering live music.[2][3]

History

The first Loopallu was held in 2005, with the American rockgrass band Hayseed Dixie promoting the festival and being the headline act.[4] The success of the event was also attributed to support being shown by BBC Radio 2’s Janice Long.[5] The festival has been organised by local promoter Robert Hicks. The name of the festival is the name of the town, spelled backwards. It has played host to Mumford & Sons, Franz Ferdinand, Paolo Nutini.[5] Echo & the Bunnymen and the Levellers.[2]

In 2014 the festival added a literary tent, teaming up with the Ullapool Book Festival.[6] That year the ticket quota sold out in advance of the acts being announced, and there were about 2,500 people attending the event on each of the days it was held.[7]

The next festival will be held on 28 – 29 September 2018.[8]
