Starfields
STAR created the annual Starfields festival in 2006, and organised it each year until 2009.
St Andrews Charity Fashion Show (FS) brought Starfields back in 2013, and has organised it every year since. STAR has had minimal involvement with this reboot, besides running a "STAR Lounge" at the 2013 event.

It was scheduled to take place on 15th April 2016, but was cancelled on 12th April.

Acts included Django Django, Errors, Dutch Uncles, KT Tunstall, Conquering Animal Sound, Kid Canaveral, Withered Hand, and King Creosote & John Hopkins. The festival used various venues across town, including the basement of Younger Hall (where Withered Hand closed the festival), and tickets were £45 for a weekend pass, or £35 for students.
