The organisers of Connect music festival have announced the event will not be held in 2024 to build the "next edition" of the festival.

Initially held in 2007 and 2008 at Inveraray Castle in Argyll, the event was relaunched in 2022 at the Royal Highland Centre near Edinburgh.

Last year's festival saw performances by Primal Scream, Franz Ferdinand, boygenius and Raye.

Promoter DF Concerts said the venue had been a "delight" for attendees and they would continue to host Edinburgh Summer Sessions there.

Up to 15,000 fans per day attend the three-day event.

In a social media post the organisers said: "We've decided to take a break with Connect Music Festival in 2024 to take the time to build the next edition of the festival.

"To make sure it flourishes, evolves, and continues to offer wonderful experiences for fans."
