Angus and Dundee Specsavers branches set sights on supporting Arbroath Fest
Specsavers stores across Angus and Dundee have joined forces to sponsor Arbroath Fest 2027, supporting the continued growth of one of the area's most exciting live music events.
The teams at Specsavers Arbroath, Dundee, Forfar and Montrose have announced its partnership with the festival, which is set to welcome thousands of music fans to the Angus coast next year.
Having grown from humble beginnings into an increasingly popular fixture in the local events calendar, Arbroath Fest has continued to go from strength to strength, with next year’s festival set to attract international acts to perform on the shores of the town.
With an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 festival-goers expected to attend each day, the event is gearing up for another exciting edition – a dance stage day on the Friday with a headliner DJ set from Orbital alongside Utah Saints, K-Klass, Beardyman and others already announced, with a very exciting line-up still to release for the Rock/Indie stage on the Saturday.
Andy MacDonald, Arbroath Fest chairman and owner of Andreous Bistro, said: “I’m excited to welcome Specsavers as our festival and stage sponsor for Arbroath Fest 2027.
“They are a very reputable and community minded company that will help the event grow into one of UK's leading independent music festivals. The partnership matches the festivals ethos in building a strong community focused event that also helps brings tourism to the area of Arbroath.”
Jamie Buchan, store director at Specsavers Arbroath, said: “We are delighted to be joining forces with our fellow partners in Dundee, Forfar and Montrose to support Arbroath Fest 2027.
‘It's incredible to see how far the event has come, growing from a local one-day event into a multi-day event capable of bringing international performers and visitors to our doorstep, helping to put our town firmly on the map as a destination for live music.
“We're proud to play a part in the next chapter of Arbroath Fest's journey and can't wait to see what the event has in store for 2027.”
