A south of Scotland music festival has dropped plans for a rescheduled event this year.

Knockengorroch is usually held in May near Carsphairn in Dumfries and Galloway, but it was hoped it could be staged in September instead.

However, organisers said they had "come to realise" it would not be possible to hold it on that date either.

They have now announced they will be back in 2021 from 27 to 30 May.
