he festival is set to attract 10,000 students from Scotland and beyond and Freshers’ Festival co-founder, Graeme Barratt, believes Scotcampus has created an ideal introduction to the ways of contemporary student life.
Graeme Barratt said: "We’re delighted to now be in a position to unveil the acts for the 2008 Scotcampus Freshers’ Festival, as we know that these acts will be a big attraction for students of all ages. The Attic Lights are very much ‘of the moment’, having just released new material and playing the Hydro Connect Festival.
"The Freshers’ Festival is the ideal place for students and prospective students to pick up vital information about what’s on offer to them, from clothing, food and clubs, to health, lifestyle and academic advice. With many students leaving home for the first time, this advice will be invaluable and students can get this information for free whilst watching Scotland’s finest bands and enjoying some fantastic entertainment in the IRN-BRU 32Music entertainment tent."
