Sound of Iona Music Festival 2026

The Sound of Iona Music Festival returns for its third year on the wild and beautiful shores of the Isle of Iona, bringing together a magical blend of live music and island atmosphere. Set for 17 to 18 July 2026, the event invites visitors to immerse themselves in a unique festival experience beneath open skies and among ancient landscapes. Over the weekend you will find well known artists and exciting new performers playing across several intimate stages, creating an atmosphere that feels both lively and personal. Whether you are watching from the front row or relaxing on the grass under a Celtic sunset, the spirit of Iona fills every moment of the event. Beyond the music, the island setting adds a special dimension. The ferry journey, the sound of the sea and the historic village hall all contribute to an experience where the landscape becomes part of the performance itself. As the sun sets and gentle melodies drift over the water, it is easy to understand why this festival has become a favourite for music lovers who want something truly memorable. Families, friends and solo travellers will all find something to enjoy, from energetic evening shows to calm daytime sessions that leave time to explore the island’s beauty between performances. With limited tickets and a setting that feels both remote and welcoming, the Sound of Iona Music Festival promises a weekend to remember.
