Winterlight 2025

Winterlight ignited spirits in the days between Christmas and New Year with three magical sold-out nights of live music from some of Scotland’s best – Elephant Sessions, Beluga Lagoon (Solo), Mànran, Kinnaris Q, Maria McAveety and Skerryvore, joined by special guests Dollar Academy Pipe Band. A fantastic Afternoon Show bringing all ages together, and a Ceilidh that had us dancing and spinning across the floor completed the winter festival.

As well as the biggest acts, Winterlight provided a spotlight to 40 of our most talented local musicians. Before each of the three headline concerts, The Lesser Hall stage was taken over by Tolbooth’s New Noise programme, which support new talent year-round. New Noise at Winterlight presented an up-and-coming act from Stirling including Corin, Evie Waddell and Jen Dunbar, to celebrate new talent and to help get the party started.
