Quality bands playing and free money on offer it really is that simple.

T on the Fringe have announced the first acts to be confirmed to play during the whole festival shebang in Edinburgh in August. Basement Jaxx and the Prodigy will be bashing it out at the Corn Exchange while the likes of Yo La Tengo, the Wedding Present, Sons and Daughters, the Magic Numbers and Hot Hot Heat are all playing at the Liquid Room. As well as the already announced big outdoor events by Franz Ferdinand in Princes Street Gardens and the Pixies at Meadowbank Stadium, there will be more intimate shows by up and coming artists at Cabaret Voltaire. All tickets are on sale now. Check out www.tonthefringe.com for more details.
