The line-up for this year’s Connect festival has been announced with Franz Ferdinand, Manic Street Preachers and Kasabian headlining the three-day shindig at Inveraray Castle, Argyll.

The festival, now in its second year, takes place over 29-31 August and has been re-christened the Hydro Connect Music Festival to reflect new sponsors Scottish Hydro Electric, the UK’s leading producer of renewable energy.

The bill so far includes Sigur Ros, Goldfrapp, Spiritualized, Mercury Rev, The Gossip, The Breeders, Paolo Nutini, Elbow, The Roots, Amy MacDonald, Nick Cave’s Grinderman, The Coral, The Levellers, Sia, Duffy and Camera Obscura with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

The likes of Vegas and Club Noir will be hosting club nights in the Unknown Pleasures Tent while the Circuses and Bread Field -- one of the real innovations of last year’s event -- will be bringing a selection of the finest food and drink from around Argyll for the festival goers. There will also be bespoke camping options and spa facilities on offer.

Tickets go on sale Friday 4 April priced £120 for weekend tickets and £140 with camping. Visit www.connectmusicfestival.com for more details.

Looks great, really looking forward to seeing Sigur Ros in such a gorgeous setting!

Great line up again and will be amazing if the weather holds out (was more a mud-fest than a boutique-fest last year!)... I won't be camping after year's experience but hope for everybody's sake they'll be a bit better organised this time around...
