The stage will offer a vast range of types of music from solo artists, bands, and DJs across the event weekend.

DMC said: “We are immensely proud to be programming the second stage at this year’s Youth Beatz Festival. It’s an honour for us to have been able to offer this incredible performance opportunity to eighteen homegrown Scottish bands and musicians and to support them in playing to such a huge crowd. It is also a brilliant chance for us at Dumfries Music Collective to get out there and shout about what we do, which will allow us to support even more young people in Dumfries and Galloway in pursuing a career in music.”
