l This is the weekend of the THAT festival at Stirling's Macrobert.
The venue pushes the boat out from today to Monday with a programme of performance, film and music. The latter is headlined by We Were Promised Jetpacks, who play on Sunday night, and the film programme is in the hands of Scotland's curly kilted cineaste and alumnus of Stirling University, Mark Cousins. Theatre includes the venues regular partners Shona Reppe, Frozen Charlotte and Johnny McKnight with his Random Accomplice company. Three event passes, which exclude the Jetpacks show, are £15 and £10 for the under-26.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
