Dunfermline Athletic boss Neil Lennon will take the stage at Carnegie Hall on 2 September for a special Outwith Festival interview. The Pars sit fourth in the Championship with 51 points from 36 games, and Lennon’s insights promise to draw a big crowd.
What’s happening?
Lennon will join festival organisers for an ‘Outwith Interview’ on the opening night of the five-day arts extravaganza. The event runs from 2–6 September at venues across Dunfermline, blending art, film, music, theatre and writing. Previous guests include Gordon Brown and Sir Ian Rankin.
Why this matters for Dunfermline
The interview adds star power to a festival already packed with cultural heavyweights. Lennon’s ties to the club run deep-he’s in his second full season as manager after guiding the Pars to the Scottish Cup final in May. Dunfermline lost that showpiece 2-1 to Celtic at Hampden, though they beat three top-flight sides en route.
What to expect from Lennon’s conversation
Festival organisers teased a deep dive into Lennon’s life, from his playing days at Celtic-where he won five league titles and reached the 2003 UEFA Cup final-to his stints in management with Hibernian, Bolton and spells abroad. He’ll also share the music and influences that shaped his career.
Where to get tickets
Tickets are available via the festival’s linktree. Dunfermline currently sit 26 points behind league leaders St Johnstone, with a goal difference of +11 after 52 scored and 41 conceded. Their last result was a 3-1 loss at Celtic on 23 May 2026, and recent form reads LLLDD over the last five games.
