The first acts for this year's Electric Fields festival in Dumfries & Galloway have been revealed.

Metronomy, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, and The Vaccines will headline the event at Drumlanrig Castle near Thornhill this July.

Scottish artists set to appear include The Van T's, Emme Woods, Vistas, Fauves and Alligator.

As well as the return of The Pitt, with over 20 food vendors, there will also be a dedicated children's area to keep the kids entertained throughout the weekend.

Organisers have also taken the decision to limit capacity to 5000 for the festival.

Nick Roberts, festival co-founder, said: "We're delighted to be back for another year, with an amazing line-up of artists we love.

"As ever we've got some of the best headliners going matched with the finest up and coming bands from around the country, combining for what will be a totally brilliant three days.

"We're also very excited to be taking place in July for the first time which we're sure will make it a scorcher - here's to a hot, music filled weekend of fun."

Electric Fields will take place between July 4 and 6. Tickets are on sale now.
