"Everytime we play Scotland the crowd are always 100% behind us, singing every word and enjoying themselves, so we always look forward to coming back." - The Rifles
“We like rock n roll and we like you” - The Holy Ghosts
“Pumped to get back to Edinburgh for Haddowfest ! The city has always treated us so well. We opened for Plan B at the Picturehouse way back in the very early days of Dry the River and have toured all over the country as far as Ullapool, Stornoway, and Aviemore. Pete actually lived in Scotland for 3 years so its exciting to be back in the capital to headline!” - Dry the River
“we were really happy to be asked to play Haddowfest again and really enjoy playing at the Liquid Room having grown up going to loads of gigs there. This will be our last show in Edinburgh for a while as we will be concentrating on writing and recording our third album. Hope to see you there !” - Adam, We Were Promised Jetpacks
“really looking forward to this one, have even more young Scottish up and comers this year and thrilled to have Dry the River, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Holy Ghosts and The Rifles and all the others joining us for the two days. After the success of Haddow On The Fringe, hoping we can make this the biggest and best Haddowfest yet !” - Hamish Jolly, Haddowfest
