Thirty band bill set for Dunfermline Live festival

Fife’s own King Creosote and Glasgow hip-hop group Hector Bizerk are among the acts lined up for this weekend’s Dunfermline Live all-dayer.

KC – who has just announced a Glasgow performance of his soundtrack to ‘From Scotland With Love’ as part of the 2015 Celtic Connections programme – leads the bill at one of the festival’s six venues. Scottish Album of the Year nominees Hector Bizerk join King Creosote on stage-closing duties, with the festival headlined by Yorkshire rockers Embrace.

Also on the bill are Fife band The Moon Kids, who featured on the T Break stage at this year’s T in the Park festival, and Dundee indie outfit Scary People – watch a track from the band's of the band in session for The Skinny in the player below.

Scary People frontman Dan Forouhar said: "This is our first time in Dunfermline with the band. I'm shocked we've never hit it before now but all the boys are really looking forward to it especially going there with another Dundee contingent. It should be a great day and I don't doubt it will be a big success for everybody."
