Scotland's 'most intimate outdoor festival', Jupiter Rising, is set to return this summer to the award-winning and iconic Jupiter Artland sculpture park for the second year running. The festival which is limited to only 1,000 attendees has announced a diverse line-up of artists from around the world who will perform on the 29–30 August weekend.

The festival's music programme is set to feature a wide variety of both Scottish and international acts across all genres, including Scottish Album of the Year Award and Scottish Electronic Musician of the Year winner Auntie Flo, who will headline the festival on Saturday night and showcase his unique fusion of electronic and world music.

Also on the bill is Glasgow's Free Love, who have been featured on the Scottish Album of the Year Award shortlist twice in the past. The duo will perform two unique sets on partner stages hosted by Night School Records and Lost Map. Both labels will showcase their artists from over the years, with special performances taking place across the festival site. Full line-ups for all partner stages, which also includes Glasgow's OH141, will be released over the coming months.
