Montrose Music Festival is all set to take its place at the heart of Scotland’s music scene this weekend.
Almost 100 acts are due to perform at 15 venues across the town.
These include hometown favourite Ben Walker, who will close the High Street stage on Saturday.
And the line-up features a host of names from across Angus.
The festival team has also added a Sunday family fun event at the town’s new Union Park Community Hub.
Montrose Music Festival bigger and better for 2025
Once again, the High Street stage is expected to be a huge hit, with fingers crossed the weather will play ball.
After an absence of a few years, the popular event returned in 2024.
A spokesperson said: “The team has worked hard to make it bigger and better than our comeback last year.
“We have 97 acts over 15 venues and our High Street event, as well as our brand new family fun day at Union Park Community Sports Hub.
“We have secured some amazing acts at both the High Street and Union Park.
Making a return to the High Street stage will be Peyton Place and Emerald Sunday.
Young Arbroath band The Westways are also set to appear there.
And Saturday will be a big day for Montrose lad Ben Walker when he closes the programme.
The host for the day is Original 106 DJ Claire Kinnaird.
The festival team added: “At Union Park we have five amazing artists, including 14-year-old Islay Crowe, Josh Moncreiff, Stephen McCaffery and the False Summits.”
They say Sunday promises to be an action-packed family event.
“There is a fantastic selection of acts in our official venues, including festival favourites such as Sorella, Calum Campbell, Remedy, Cover Daddy and Late Landing.
“We have some great cover bands and have introduced a lot of young up-and-coming talent to continue to support them as much as we can.”
More details of the programme and bands are available on the festival Facebook page.
