Snoop Dogg has been confirmed for this year's T In The Park.

The rapper will join previously announced headliners Mumford & Sons, Rihanna and The Killers on the Main Stage.

Geoff Ellis, Festival Director, said: "Snoop Dogg is a true legend and one of the most influential rap stars of all time. His first and only T In The Park performance so far back in 2005 was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our 20-year history, and we’re hugely excited to bring him back to Scotland for our 20th edition. Snoop is a phenomenal live act, and I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us this year."

Foals, Haim, Phoenix, Kendrick Lamar, Calvin Harris and Beady Eye are among the artists recently announced for the bash, along with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Dizzee Rascal and Kraftwerk. T In The Park takes place in Balado, Kinross between July 12-14. This year marks the festival's 20th anniversary.
