The Edinburgh International Festival may be best known for ballet, classical music, opera and theatre - but in recent years contemporary music has become part of the programme, with performances from everybody from Arab Strap to Princess Nokia.
And, while the Edinburgh Festival Fringe no longer has its 'T on the Fringe' music strand, there are still plenty of bands and singers to look out for.
Here are 12 artists you can bag yourself a ticket for during August.
1. Jake Bugg
Indie pop singer-songwriter Jake Bugg burst on to the music scene in 2012 with his eponymous debut album which earned him the Brit Award for Best Breakthrough Artist.

He's playing the Playhouse as part of the Edinburgh International Festival on Wednesday, August 23.
