Scotland's Electric Fields has announced its incredible first wave of acts, with Arab Strap, Frightened Rabbit, and The Jesus and Mary Chain all confirmed.
Crash Club, And Yet It Moves, and Brat and The Bonemen, are also announced - you can also expect non-musical fun, such as the Tim Peaks Diner, spoken word and installation art lineups, and family-friendly entertainment.
Last year's edition saw performances from The Charlatans, Primal Scream, Everything Everything, Wild Beasts, The Twilight Sad, and lots more.
Electric Fields 2017 takes place at Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfries & Galloway, on 1-2 September. Tickets are on sale from £95 - find out more.
