Kyle Falconer will play a new music festival this summer, organisers have announced.

The View star has been added to the line up of Carnival Fifty Six, due to take place at Camperdown Park in Dundee this summer.

Mark Ronson, The Fratellis and Rudimental will headline the festival, which takes place on August 12-13.

Kyle will be joined by his brother Ronnie on guitar as well as Billy Mitchell on bass as he embarks on a solo career.

He said: "This is a really big deal for me. Obviously I grew up just across from the park in Dryburgh so to come here this summer and play is brilliant.

"The View had talks before about coming back to perform but nothing came of it so I'm glad I'm getting the chance to do it.

"It's brilliant that Carnival Fifty Six is coming to Dundee. The organisers have some really big names and as soon as it was announced I wanted to be a part of it."
