John Lennon Northern Lights Festival Announced
Despite its remote location, over the last three months some of the country's top artists have committed to coming to Durness and villagers sworn to secrecy - until today (May 19).
And festival organisers are promising even more surprise "major" announcements between now and the festival which will be held between September 28 and 30.
But festival director Mike Merritt confirmed that Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, the Queen's Master of Music, will lead lead the classical programme and present a world premiere of a Beatles Prom with the Royal Academy of Music, supported by the quartet Eclipse.
One of Scotland's rising singing stars, Julie Fowlis - who last year won Radio 2 newcomer of the year and is hailed by Sir Bob Geldof and Ricky Gervais among others - and Blazin Fiddles are part of the traditional music section.
Chart toppers Nizlopi, who had the number one hit The JCB Song, the brilliant King Creosote and Mr Hudson and The Library - one of the hottest new bands around - are among the contemporary acts.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
