The former St Mungo’s High School pupil will take to the Main Stage when Vibration Festival returns to the town’s Callendar Park this weekend.

New Carron man Craig, 23, lit up the ITV talent show earlier this year and stormed to victory in the live final with a stirring rendition of his track Come Waste My Time, which made The Voice history by becoming the best-performing self-written winner’s single.

“I'm also being joined on stage by local band VH5, who kindly agreed to step in with not much notice and play some of my songs for me.
