Out of Hand Logo

We provide on-site outdoor poster advertising services to enable music fans to see up and coming events.

Festivals are one of the most powerful environments for brand exposure. With tens of thousands of attendees immersed in a high-energy atmosphere, your message isn't just seen, it's experienced.

Whether you're a national brand, local business, or emerging performer, advertising at festivals offers a unique opportunity to connect with highly engaged and diverse audiences. Each festival has its own community and culture, giving you the ability to tailor your message to specific demographics, from students and young professionals to families, music lovers, and niche subcultures.

Why Advertise at Festivals?

  • Captive Audience: Festival-goers are fully immersed in the moment. With limited digital distractions, your message receives undivided attention.
  • Diverse Demographics: Target specific audiences based on the festival's identity and demographic reach. Whether it's a dance music weekend or a family-friendly event, we help align your campaign with the right crowd.
  • Memorable Impressions: Unlike traditional ads, festival advertising lives in an emotional, high-energy space. Your brand becomes part of the experience.
  • Physical Presence: In an increasingly digital world, physical media at events stands out. Posters, signage, and installations create a real-world touchpoint with your audience.

Edinburgh

Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Since 2014, we have worked in partnership with The City of Edinburgh Council and operate the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Outdoor Advertising scheme. The Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and we create over 1,000 temporary advertising sites across the city centre during July / August.

We have transformed the scheme into a transparent and fair marketing channel that is accessible to all Fringe participants, regardless of budget size. We design, build, maintain and remove all structures within agreed timescales. A key element of the scheme is removing flyposting, stickers and graffiti near all our advertising sites - thousands of items are removed, resulting in a marked reduction in flyposting year on year and a vastly improved appearance in Edinburgh city centre. It is estimated we save the council in excess of £100,000 in annual street cleaning costs though our involvement in operating the scheme.

The Edinburgh Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world.
