Hue and Cry come back to the Big Burns Supper after five years
Organisers have promised an "international roster of artists from all over the world" for the celebration of Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns.
It will be a debut for most of the acts but Hue and Cry are returning having previously headlined in 2015.
Another act playing the 2020 festival are Turin Brakes
"The 2020 festival will be our ninth edition, and we've really looked much further afield for our artistic programme to offer our audience something truly unique," said executive producer Graham Main.
"We want to bring the world to Dumfries and music is the perfect way to do it."
The Felice Brothers will add to the international flavour of the line-up
Festival favourites the Le Haggis cabaret show and the Sunday Session will also return along with other acts to be announced in the build up to the event.
