On paper they said it wouldn’t work, a festival in late September in a remote village on the West Coast of Scotland 60 miles from the nearest town, but here we are seven years later having had the likes of Paolo Nutini, Mumford & Sons and Franz Ferdinand grace our little stage.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls…. Welcome to Loopallu.

We hope you enjoy this years eclectic mix of great bands, fine foods from around the Highlands, a slightly tweeked festival site and of course a warm Ullapool welcome.

See you in September
