LCD Soundsystem And Gruff Rhys To Perform At Triptych 05

Details of this year’s Triptych festival have been announced.

This year is the festival’s fifth year anniversary and the event will run from April 27 to May 1 throughout Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

Performing at this year’s event will be:

Aberfeldy, Arab Strap, Bugz in the Attic, The Earlies, The Fall, Gruff Rhys, Greg Wilson, Giles Peterson, LCD Soundsystem, Roots Manuva and loads, loads more.

The festival is dedicated to the arts this year cramming, music, art, film and poetry into the event. One of the big names will be Laurie Anderson a unique avant-garde performance artist of our time who returns to Triptych with the European premiere of 'The End of The Moon' – a brand-new work chronicling Anderson’s recent experience as NASA’s artist-in-residence.

George Kyle of Tennent’s Lager, the festival sponsor has said: “Triptych goes from strength to strength each year, and is now widely recognised as one of Europe’s most diverse and arresting music festivals. It’s perhaps fitting for Triptych’s fifth anniversary that this year’s bill has a certain sense of celebration: some of the biggest and most significant names to date are set to delight over five heady days and nights – musical legends who have, since day one, appealed to the Triptych ideology and who have, in year five, auspiciously come on board. Triptych 05 looks to be the most exciting yet.”
