The Connect Music Festival was a music festival that took place in the grounds of Inveraray Castle, located on the banks of Loch Fyne in Argyll, Scotland. It was aimed at more mature music fans[1] and recent headliners included the Beastie Boys, Björk and Franz Ferdinand.[2][1] The inaugural festival was held in 2007 and was repeated in 2008. The festival did not take place in 2009[3] or 2010 with the organisers blaming high running costs and the effects of the Financial crisis of 2007–2010.
