Dùn Rùin : Secret Fortress You’ll never have been anywhere quite like this.
We could almost guarantee you haven’t been anywhere more beautiful in your life.
The Isle of Skye is legendary. Tales of epic Viking raids, colossal feuding giants and fairy magic abounds.
This event is in Kyleakin, on the south of the Isle of Skye, just under the incredible Skye Bridge. We’d advise you to take a few days out, either side of the festival, to travel around the island and enjoy all that Skye has to offer.
❋ an Incredible islandWe’re bringing together Modern Metalcore acts from all over the UK to a place that truly hasn’t heard anything quite like this before.
This festival was born out of love for the UK Metal Scene and our Organiser’s desire to help raise the profile of Metalcore in the Scottish Highlands.
Metal-specific events do not take place for hundreds of miles from this location. We would advise you to purchase your ticket as soon as possible as ticket numbers are limited.
❋ incredible musicAre Metal fans the best fans in the world!? We reckon so. Not only are we all proper down to earth folk - we’re also truly dedicated to the scene.
Islanders know the epic distances we have to travel to see our favourite bands. It’s time we brought the music closer to home.
Are you as psyched as we are!?
❋ incredible people This space is an inclusive space open to all. We have a chill out space, where you can take some time to yourself, and our lovely volunteers will be on hand to ensure you’re well looked after.

This is an ai-free space
Our posters, website, logos and merch are free from AI-produced content. We believe in supporting real sentient artists to create real art.
Spotify last year increased their creation of AI bands. These bands uploaded AI music that copies the music of bands on their streaming services. This, among many other shady happenings, further reduces an artists chances of making any money from the real music they create. This isn’t cool.
Spotify also gifted billions of dollars of profit to Israeli Arms companies last year. This also isn’t cool.
Support streaming services such as Bandcamp, who have banned AI produced music, and Download the ‘No Thanks’ app to ensure your money does not go towards funding the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Invest in real music. Don’t subscribe to Spotify. Buy an album a month or purchase some super cool merch.
We know our Metal Community cares. We can all be the change.
