Concert organiser Sandy Sweetman is counting down the hours for his first big open air event in more than a year when 2,000 fans are set to descend on the Crichton.
The two-day Doonhame Festival kicks off this Friday and closes at midnight the next day.
Mr Sweetman reckons the two-day festival should be a smash hit with big name bands such as Waterboys, Bad Manners and Toploader plus a host of others appearing at the Dumfries venue.
