DJS Mallorca Lee and Malcolm X and bands including Glasvegas, The Bay City Rollers, The Red Hot Chilli Pipers and The Bluebells are among those gearing up to perform at an outdoor festival in a spectacular setting this weekend.
Music at the Multiverse takes place at Crawick Multiverse, a 55-acre environmental artwork and visitor attraction near Sanquhar in Dumfries and Galloway inspired by the sun, stars and colliding galaxies.
It will feature a new dance tent in addition to the main stage this year. Mallorca Lee will bring his 1994 brand on the Sunday to play a whole day of old skool music by the artists responsible for making back in the day so unforgettable.

He said: “I’m really excited by this, after 10 years of sell-out 1994 events in Glasgow, this is the first time we’ve taken it outside in the fresh air!”
“And it’s going to be amazing – it’s such a spectacular place. And having 1994 in a tent, in a field, with a great line-up, filled with brilliant music – it’s right back to the roots of rave.”
Malcolm X, who is from Kelloholm, near the Multiverse, has been recruiting some of the best local DJs for the Saturday – including arranging for the well-known Jamie B to fly in from Belfast.
Malcolm X, who has been a DJ for 30 years, said: “The first thing that’s going to blow people’s minds is the location – it’s just incredible and that’s before you even add in the music. But having dance music and a two-day event in a place like the Multiverse is just incredible, especially when you’ve got superstars like Mallorca there, along with Jamie B and some really great guests including DJs from the region.”
Councillor Archie Dryburgh, chair of Dumfries and Galloway Council’s communities committee said: “Music at the Multiverse continues our region’s brilliant recent tradition of great live music events. Don’t miss the opportunity to go up to the Crawick Multiverse at Sanquhar to take in the event and enjoy the scenery and fab line-up.
“If local people can get behind Music at the Multiverse, it can go from strength to strength.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
