Paolo Nutini is set to headline next year’s RockNess festival in Scotland, organisers have announced.

The singer will perform a “monumental landmark homecoming gig” on the main stage on Sunday (June 12).

“I am buzzing at the prospect," Nutini said. "I don’t know what to expect but everyone I know has come back with loads of stories to tell. I hope I will be the same.”

The event is scheduled to take place on the banks of Loch Ness near Inverness from June 10-12.

Nutini will join previously announced headliners Kasabian and The Chemical Brothers.

Tickets go on sale on today (November 26) at 9am.
