Electric Fields unveil more bands for 2016
Steve Mason, Factory Floor and Tuff Love are among the latest batch of acts confirmed for this year's two-day event in the grounds of Drumlanrig Castle.
Former Beta Band frontman Mason plays the festival's main stage on the heels of third solo album Meet The Humans, alongside Mercury nominees C Duncan and Wild Beasts, hip-hop luminaries Sugarhill Gang, and hotly-tipped indie six-piece Neon Waltz. The festival has also unveiled its second headliner – The Charlatans join Primal Scream at the top of the bill, with the Tim Peaks stage programmed by Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess also gaining a host of new additions including Horsebeach and Teen Canteen.
On the festival's second stage, Lost Map's lo-fi grunge-pop outfit Tuff Love join the bill alongside Bill Ryder-Jones, WHITE, Emma Pollock and exiled Malian quartet Songhoy Blues, while Factory Floor and Glaswegian producer Denis Sulta are among the names added to the Sneaky Pete's dance stage.
The new additions join the previously announced Public Service Broadcasting, Erol Alkan and The Twilight Sad; full line-up details are below.
