About Midstock Festival 2023
At the heart of the Midstock festival are a small team of local lads bringing you a variety of music, food and drink and loads of fun; what more could you want from one or two fantastic days at the end of May?
Friday (18 and over), DJ's from near and far provide a brilliant night full of great tunes. Do not miss this, you won't want the night to end! This is a very popular evening!!
Saturday, a more eclectic mix of tributes knock out classic after classic. Fantastic reviews from last year mean there is lots to live up to in 2023!
There will be a corner of the park set aside for families who need to distract our younger festival goers.
Grab your dancing shoes (and maybe your wellies) and experience Scotland’s biggest small festival.
Numbers are limited to 2,000 for each day.

Organisers Wullie Slight and Scott St Clair Gunn dreamed up Midstock after their catering company, The Scullery, fed hungry Tough Mudder competitors at Dalkeith Country Park. Dalkeith resident Wullie realised the area was crying out for a home-grown festival, so he and Scott decided to create their own at the picturesque estate.
Without a drop of experience in the festival ocean, Wullie and Scott set out to fill the park with a festival that showcased the best of Scottish musical talent and set the pace for a week-long music, comedy and arts extravaganza in Midlothian.
After signing Scots indie rockers The View, the event snowballed. Big Country, The Bay City Rollers and fantastic local talent from The Merrylees and The Rebel Westerns were just a few of more than 60 performances enjoyed by over 4,000 revellers. They even enjoyed some September sunshine!
