This year's first class literary line-up includes award-winning poet and Hospitalfield alumna Jackie Kay, 2010 Costa Prize winner Christopher Reid, Australian author and musician Nick Cave, leading Scottish writer Iain Banks and novelist and Professor of Creative Writing Kirsty Gunn.
The festival will run from June 22 to 27.
