McVicar, co-founder of Pavilion Festival, said: “Pavilion is about bringing something world-class to Scotland, right here on our doorstep, right here by the beach.<\/p>\n

“2026 is shaping up to be some show with MK headlining Saturday and Carl Cox on Sunday.”<\/p>\n

The DJ, who established the festival with veteran Ayrshire concert promoters STREETrave, added that a second wave of acts will be announced soon, and this his own set will see the Scottish debut of his new full production show.<\/p>\n
