For newer acts there's Tyneside's Sam Fender, Edinburgh's Hamish Hawk, as well as The Howl and The Hum, and Willie Campbell & the Tumbling Souls.

In association with Ullapool Book Festival over the years Loopallu has brought some incredible names from the literary world, and to end in style there's the legendary Ian Rankin, children's favourite Mairi Hedderwick, and award winning Malachy Tallack.

The fringe will play host to Rhythmnreel, Little Mammoths, Ruairidh Maclean, Sons of the Soil, Will & the Wild Horse, Vic Galloway and Davy & the Hosebeast.

The Loopallu team would like to say: a big thank you to all who have come over the years, your support and enthusiasm made the event what it was and what it is. Loopallu may come back in the future in a different guise, but for now lets have a party one last time.
