A HOST of artistes will thrill thousands at today’s Electric Fields 2015 festival at picturesque Drumlanrig Castle near Thornhill.
One of Scotland’s most revered and loved songsmiths, King Creosote, will be headlining Electric Fields 2015!
With over 40 albums and a Mercury Prize nomination to his name there is no doubting the quality of this years headliner.
Also new to the bill is Blanck Mass, who will be headlining The Skinny magazine’s stage, joined by Leeds alt outfit Vessels, Catholic Action, Birdhead, Fat Goth, United Fruit and Outblinker. The Skinny celebrate their 10 year anniversary this year with the birthday bumps kicking off at Electric Fields.
The carefully curated stage is an ode to the past 10 years, expect a couple more surprises and a mystery guest or two down the line…
“To have someone like King Creosote headline Electric Fields in just our second year is unreal, we are so happy to have him leading the line. To have such an iconic musician close the day at such an iconic location is something special.
“We’re also delighted to announce the first names for The Skinny stage, the likes of Blanck Mass and Vessels mean we have an even wider array of artists on the bill, and we’re looking forward to starting the mags 10th anniversary celebrations with us!” said Alex Roberts, Electric Fields Festival Director.
