The first names for the line-up of Otherlands Festival at Scone Palace this summer have been announced by organisers.

The three-day camping festival is coming to the Perthshire venue for the first time in 2022.

The event was announced earlier this month, with Edinburgh-based promoter Fly promising a “celebration of culture”.

Jamie XX, a former member of English indie rock band The XX, is a musician, DJ and producer.

London artist Tom Misch has built up global attention following the release of multiple EPS and solo album Geography.

Known for his multiinstrumental talent, Misch has sold out shows and festivals across the UK and has worked on a variety of collaborations.

Other artists and DJS at the festival will include Ricardo Villalobos, Alewya, DJ Seinfeld, Elkka, Sherelle, TSHA, Yung Singh, Hayley Zallassi, Seren Seo.

Fly says more acts are still to be announced.

Otherlands will feature six stages and promises to showcase a host of music genres.

The initial names on the line-up were announced on Instagram, with a post saying: “We are proud to present the first round of all-star artists joining us in the Otherlands this summer.

“With six stages of music spanning across electronic and live, this is only a glimpse of the talent we have in store.”

Pre-sale tickets go on sale January 27.

Otherlands have also revealed a special stage in partnership with BBC Introducing to platform Scotland’s most exciting up and coming artists.

Tom Ketley, founder of Otherlands Music & Arts Festival, added: “We’re delighted to bring such an array of amazing artists to Scotland in what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable debut festival.

“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.’’
