A wealth of top acts will make their way to Perthshire for a stunning summer of music, drama and dance.
Horsecross Arts has unveiled a diverse season of acts and performances for the coming months, including big names such as Jools Holland, Steve Earle, Roseanne Cash and Barbara Dickson.
Many will appear on the stage at Perth Concert Hall but a variety of other venues will also host performances, as the organisation copes with the challenges posed by the closure of Perth Theatre.
Its Out and About programme continues this week with the A Play, A Pie and a Pint production, Love with a Capital L, which runs at the Birnam Arts Centre until Friday.
It will be followed by a number of specially-commissioned plays, including two new works by Peter Arnott and Alan Bissett, which take to the road between June 10 and 28, stopping at venues from Blair Atholl to Kinross.
The more traditional surroundings of Perth Concert Hall will host Jools Holland, Alison Moyet, Scouting for Girls, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Milos Karadaglic as the Perth Festival of the Arts takes place in May.
The same venue will welcome headliners Steve Earle and Rosanne Cash to the seventh annual Southern Fried Festival of American Roots music in July.
A total of 20 of Scotland’s finest folk artists, including Barbara Dickson and Dick Gaughan, will then gather in August for Far, Far from Ypres, which marks 100 years since the outbreak of First World War.
The West End musical Fame will hit the stage that same month. Also on the bill in the coming season will be the popular Perth Piano Sundays series, which concludes with concerts by Perth-born Alasdair Beatson, thrilling duettists Simon Crawford-Phillips and Philip Moore, and Denis Kozhukhin.
Other classical highlights include a staged performance of Britten’s Albert Herring by St Andrews Opera and two Handel concerts in St John’s Kirk by Ludus Baroque.
Meanwhile, the Stars of Strictly Come Dancing, Pasha and Katya, will bring a carnival of music, dance, costumes and sparkles to the concert hall in June.
There will also be plenty for youngsters to enjoy courtesy of The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer, a busy programme of Join In activities and the Horsecross Youth Arts Festival.
