THE ACCLAIMED UK Foo Fighters and We Three Kings of Rock 'N Roll are among the tribute bands who will be performing at one of this year's most eagerly anticipated music events.

Live@Troon, which was awarded the status of the Top 5 Best Outdoor Festivals in the country, is scheduled to run from Friday, September 8 until Sunday, September 10.

Now is its eighth year since inception, the large crowds from previous years are expected to return in 2017 and will continue to grow in numbers - as this event not only attracts some of the biggest and best bands in the region, but gets bigger and better every year.

The festival is a three-day extravaganza of music, events and lively street performance which offers entertainment to satisfy music-lovers from all over the country - including the traditional hard-core festival-goers, visitors to the region and local families alike.

There is also the ever-popular Troon's Got Talent competition for youngsters which always attracts a high entry.

Friday night sees performances from The Complete Stone Roses, Definitely Oasis and Northern Soul (a Richard Ashcroft tribute).

Saturday's acts are UK Foo Fighters, Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5, Have Mercy Las Vegas, Dogtooth and Ayr's own Seaside Sons.

We Three Kings of Rock 'N Roll, paying tribute to Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and Billy Fury take centre stage on the Sunday with all those gigs at Troon Concert Hall.
