The Insider Olympiad 2012 is the must do sporting event of the year, brought to you with the support of Creative Scotland.

It is set to feature as many as none of the world’s finest athletes and sporting celebrities but will have instead an outstanding musical line-up and mouth-watering food and drink, all enjoyed in beautiful surroundings with beautiful people.

‘Anarchic, beautiful, otherworldly and above all seriously good craic’ – Aidan O’Rourke (Lau).

‘Like a scene from a fairytale’ – Rachel Sermanni

‘An open air europop orgy of sweaty hirsute euphoria… One of the finest festivals I have ever attended’ – Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow).

‘The talent would kick the shit out of any other fest in Scotland, or the UK I’d wager. What a magical place’ – Mike Kearney.

On your marks…

The Insider is renowned as a festival by musicians for musicians. Eschewing the possibility of untold riches through fine financial control in favour of filling a field with an ungodly array of talent, the directors of Backwoods productions are busy weaving together the fourth Insider. Trust us – while at this stage only the merest hints of our line up have been revealed you can rest assured it’s eclectic, it’s intelligent and it’s never really finished, even once the party’s started.

Get Set…

In 2012, side by side with our wider nation, we come together in a celebration of sport. Insider 2012 offers multi disciplinary eventing for the sports casual – a hustle and bustle of tussles and muscles. In the name of international cooperation, for one weekend only, we are granting diplomatic immunity to all heads of state who come to participate in our head to heads for heads of state.

On Friday the sports commence with the qualifiers and it hots up through Saturday morning until our big, camp, overblown not-at-opening-time opening ceremony. Sunday sees the deciders, announcements, final bribery opportunities and a grand prize giving before Sunday night, after the main stage headliners, when all our visiting dignitaries and athletes are invited to the soon to be infamous Despots and Dictators ball…
