Fife’s finest The Proclaimers are set to headline the Big Tent festival next year.
Scotland may be in the grips of winter but the Reid twins have given music lovers something to look forward to when summer returns.
The brothers will take to the stage on July 21 to provide the finale to the first night of the two-day festival at Falkland Estate.
Craig and Charlie were born in Leith and grew up in Auchtermuchty, just five miles from the festival site.
The Big Tent is a green-themed family-friendly affair organised by Falkland Centre for Stewardship.
It hosts two stages of music as well as a range of talks, demonstrations and activities aimed at encouraging festival-goers of all ages to be conscious about the environment.
Further headline acts are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Helen Lawrenson, director of Falkland Centre for Stewardship, said: ”This is an amazing start to our 2012 festival programme and we are really excited that we can offer our fans an exclusive appearance by one of Scotland’s best ever live acts.
”Having taken a year off to take a fresh look at where Big Tent is going we are sure that our fans will agree that this is a great announcement and a very good start indeed.
”Over the past 12 months we have been able to focus on what really matters to us, our supporters and festival fans and so making sure that we maintain a keen eye on our environmental responsibilities is going to be key to the 2012 event.”
