Elgin music festival MacMoray to return with two stages in 2023 after sold out first year

The new Elgin music festival MacMoray will be returning in 2023 after a widely praised first year in 2022.

This Easter Elgin’s Cooper Park hosted famed acts including The Vengaboys, Bob Geldof’s Boomtown Rats and S Club.

Now the organisers are preparing to do it all over again in 2023.

So far, the organisers have promised that instead of a single outdoor stage – 2023 will have two.

They have also promised more bars, more food and drink stalls, a funfair, and “much more”.

The official MacMoray Easter Festival Facebook page released a video this week showing off last year’s success.

They also confirmed the dates for the 2023 festival as the May Day bank holiday weekend on April 29-30.

After this year’s success, the event organiser Andy Macdonald said that he would like to make it an annual event.

The sell-out crowd of 7,500 enjoyed the music so much that organisers admitted they were “overwhelmed” with their enthusiasm on the day.
