The twin brothers, Charlie and Craig Reid, return to Falkland in Fife for a headline performance less than five miles from the Fife village of Auchtermuchty where they grew up. They recently completed their 9th studio album which is due for release ahead of their Big Tent appearance next year.

After a year out to expand The Big Tent Festival, Scotland's leading environmental green festival, returns to Falkland, in Fife, on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd July 2012. Further headline acts are expected to be announced in the coming months.

The Big Tent is a family friendly affair that hosts two stages of music as well as a range of talks, demonstrations and activities that engage festival goers of all ages with the ecological opportunities and challenges that face society today.

Organised by the Falkland Centre for Stewardship, Big Tent is one of many initiatives pioneered by the organisation that is recognised as the focal point in Scotland for raising awareness of the values and practices of Stewardship. These values are reflected in the Centre's themes of food and farming, wood and landscape, people and craft.

Helen Lawrenson, Centre Director at Falkland Centre for Stewardship said, "This is an amazing start to our 2012 festival programme and we are really excited that we can offer our fans an exclusive appearance by one of Scotland's best ever live acts.

"Having taken a year off to take a fresh look at where Big Tent is going we are sure that our fans will agree that this is a great announcement and a very good start indeed. Over the past 12 months we have been able to focus on what really matters to us, our supporters and festival fans and so making sure that we maintain a keen eye on our environmental responsibilities is going to be key to the 2012 event. Although music plays a huge part in what we can offer festival fans, making sure that we deliver on our passion on environmental matters and the importance of Stewardship is still at the very heart of everything we do."
