Colours are with out a doubt Scotlands top dance music promoters, staging and promoting dance events all over the country and beyond since 1989. Over the past couple of decades they have evolved with the dance music scene, keeping things fresh and the punters and artists alike, interested. They have over the years had residencies in Ayr, Stirling and Edinburgh as well as Glasgow at The Arches, The Tunnel and Archaos. They have also since 2002 held the annual, summer, dance event, Coloursfest.
Since 2002 Coloursfest has annually descended upon the Braehead arena and waterfront, for an evening dedicated to dance. The event is spread across Braeheads main arena and several tents outside, each specified to a different genre of dance music. You'll be dancing around the clock, with the event starting at 5pm and finishing no earlier than 4am - you had better bring your Lucozade!

| Judge Jules - Coloursfest |
With its sound reputation, Colours have no problem pulling in all the big acts in the dance game to attend. Paul Van Dyke, Paul Oakenfold, Laidback Luke, John O,Callaghan and George Bowie are among the names already announced for this years 2012 Coloursfest. Last year also had a great line-up with the festival celebrating its 10th Anniversary - Ferry Corsten, Eddie Halliwell, Judge Jules and Radio 1 legend Pete Tong were all in attendance.
I went to Coloursfest for the first time last year, having been slightly put off in previous years by the army of neon tutu'd Buckfast swiggers. However, I had a great night and will be going back in June. The atmosphere is great and you can tell everyone is there for the same thing - a good time! The lineups are great as is the location. I can think of worse places to be than down the waterfront of the Clyde on a nice summers night!
