A new boutique three-day camping festival has announced the first wave of artists for its debut at Scone Palace.
Otherlands Music and Arts Festival, organised by the founders of FLY, will take place at the home of Scotland’s Kings and Queens on August 19-21 this year.
Otherlands will span genres across six stages with the organisers planning to take festival goers “on a journey into another world” - soundtracked by some of the biggest names in live and electronic music.
Announced as past of the line-up is euphoric era-defining duo from Belfast, Bicep, who will be bringing their acclaimed live show to Otherlands.
The two-time Brit Award nominees’ second album Isle’s was released last year to critical acclaim, with Atlas - the lead single from the album - scooping DJ Mag’s 2020 Track of the Year.
Joining them is one of the most sought after DJ and producers in electronic music and one third of the Mercury Prize-winning trio The xx, Jamie xx.
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Tom Misch will be bringing his own blend of R&B, jazz and soul to the festival.
DJ, producer, activist and fashion icon Honey Dijon will also be performing, as will renowned French house virtuoso Folamour with his energy-infused Power to the PPL project.
Minimal techno visionary and regular of Fabric London’s legendary room Ricardo Villalobos will also be joining the bill, as well as one of the most exciting breakout artists of last year and dance-pop star to be reckoned with, Alewya.
Genre-defying DJ Seinfield, celebrated live DJ, producer and label boss Elkka, and Sherelle who is one of the most exciting rising stars in the UK scene.
Named as one of last year’s ‘Up Next UK Artists’ by Apple Music, TSHA will be lending her warm, feel-good sounds to the bill alongside Yung Singh, Hayley Zalassi and Seren Seo - with many more still to be announced.
Otherlands have also revealed that they are partnering with BBC Introducing who will be hosting their own stage, boasting a line-up stacked full of Scotland’s most exciting up and coming artists.
Founder of Otherlands Music and Arts Festival Tom Ketley said: “We’re delighted to bring such an array of amazing artists to Scotland in what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable debut festival.
“There are so many unmissable acts still to be announced including a whole host of home-grown talent.
“To be able to do this at such an unique venue where Scotland’s Kings were once crowned is a true honour and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world.’’
