This is a great festival for people who want to hear some new bands alongside old favourites. There are four stages but it's on a much smaller scale than events like Reading or Glastonbury so you don't spend the whole weekend hiking from one stage to the next. There's also an indoor stage - great when it starts to rain - and, even better, indoor toilets. This year's line-up includes the Proclaimers and Belle & Sebastian, and there are lots of up-and-coming bands too. At £75 for three days it's pretty good value for money.
The walking tours offered by students from the university are a great way to see the city and there are several to choose from on different themes. As well as telling you about the city's main landmarks the guides point out things you would otherwise have missed.
The tours start in the main square and are well advertised once you get there.
