The Edinburgh TV Festival is leaving Edinburgh for Manchester next year due to rising costs. Scotland’s Screen Scotland and Fringe Society unveil a plan to replace the festival with a new Edinburgh-based screen event in August 2027, aiming to keep the city’s role as a global screen hub. Industry figures warn costs threaten access for working-class artists, while fringe leaders stress the importance of the festival culture for career development.
The Internet’s members are releasing solo albums while continuing to work as a band.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society has moved its operations into a permanent space on Infirmary Street, transforming Fringe Central into a year‑round hub for artists, welfare support, rehearsal spaces and industry services. The project, funded by the UK Government and partners, is designed to support a thriving, inclusive fringe ecosystem alongside the city’s galleries and venues.
