Massive Attack are due to headline the Friday night of the brand new festival.
Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers and The National will top the bill for the inaugural Connect Festival later this year.
The event, which is aiming to bring a diverse line-up to The Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, is scheduled for August 26th-28th.
“We are delighted to be announcing our line-up for Connect today,” organiser Geoff Ellis says. “For some time now we have been working tirelessly and carefully to curate a captivating line-up for the first edition of our new iteration of Connect and we have been really excited to share it.”
“While Connect is a brand new festival proposition, it will still retain many qualities from – and the ethos of – its namesake from 2007 and 2008, especially regarding the music, entertainment, food and drink programmes.”
“We are thrilled to be welcoming the very best in left field talent from grassroots through to award-winning headliners to perform this year and we cannot wait to welcome fans to the Royal Highland Showgrounds this August.”
