FuturePlay celebrates, explores and showcases cutting-edge creative content and ideas at the intersection of art and technology. The festival launched in 2016 as the Edinburgh Digital Entertainment Festival and returns this year as FuturePlay!
FuturePlay will run from 3rd to 26th August and is produced by Riverside Studios in association with Assembly Festival and supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland. The Festival will feature a dedicated hub on George Street in the form of geodesic domes and shipping containers, which will house a virtual reality studio, a gaming and interactive tech zone, an immersive art gallery, a black box theatre, food stalls and a bar.
The first full Leith Comedy Festival will take place in popular live venues and community hubs across Leith this October.
