The Edge Festival has today revealed the artists who are set to perform across Edinburgh this August.

With the announcement today of the Edge Festival line-up 2011, Edge Festival promoter Dave Corbet spoke exclusively to STV;

“We found that a lot of the people coming to the shows in Edinburgh are maybe not people who would normally come to the Fringe. They are coming to see live music and looking to build on a night out as part of that. We thought it was a good idea to build it into the one programme so you have the options of music, comedy and even theatre.”

Announced so far are acts such as The National, Mona, Cage The Elephant, Charlie Simpson, Jimmy Eat World, Wiz Khalifa, Gomez, The Vaccines, Panic! At The Disco, Morcheeba, Guillemots, Example and Newton Faulkner – so there is truly something for everyone!

There are set to be over 40 gigs taking place across Edinburgh this August, to find out more visit The Edge official website.
