Named Small Event of the Year 2024, TMF has contributed a significant £9.4 million to the island’s economy.

Daniel Gillespie, artistic director for the festival, said: “We cannot emphasise enough what a unique festival TMF is and what a special place, deeply rooted in music, Tiree is.

“We have always said TMF isn’t just a music festival – it’s a true island adventure, and that rings true to this day.

“Those who make the epic journey to TMF are embarking on an escape into culture, community and nature.

“Staging a festival here is an incredible feat of determination, creativity and passion, and we are incredibly proud of the team of staff and volunteers that manage to deliver that year after year.

“We are always proud to bring world-class talent to the island and this year we are also reflecting the legacy of music and performance on Tiree with many acts celebrating landmark milestones, while also still committing to providing a stage for exciting emerging artists.

“This is just the beginning of our plans, with lots more to be announced as we countdown to TMF – there are limited festival tickets and ferry foot passenger tickets available for anyone else who would like to experience the spirit of our festival this year.”
