Glasgow brewery Drygate stages a music festival in your living room this weekend

Featuring acts such as Aberdonian rockers Cold Years and folk singer John Rush, Rockdown showcases Scottish talent across music and performance.

All acts will be streamed live online so people can tune in from their own homes.

Those tuning in are encouraged to don their wellies and set up camp in their living rooms to bring the festival vibe to their front room.

For that authentic festival feeling, the brewery is offering Gold and Silver festival beer packs through its online store which will be delivered straight to the door in time for the weekend.

The packs contain an assortment of Drygate’s signature line-up, such as Gladeye IPA and Seven Peaks IPA, limited-edition brews and branded merchandise.

Rockdown is Drygate’s first-ever virtual festival and marks the latest step in the Glaswegian brewery’s mission of highlighting creative talent across Scotland and uniting communities during lockdown.

The brewery will also be encouraging audiences to donate to the acts directly to help support them during this challenging time for creative talent.
