. A second Live at Loch Lomond festival was held in the summer of 2008, however it was less successful due to UpFront security staff on site at the festival refusing entry to many fans due to "health and safety reasons" (i.e. lighting was inadequate along a few stretches of walkway) causing many bands (including some local bands who saw this as a great opportunity) to play to as little as 10 people. It was revealed in a local newspaper that the festival held in 2008 would be the last Live at Loch Lomond, citing the promoters felt that the weather conditions are too poor to run a festival.. There has not been another festival since.
