Dizzee Rascal joins Edinburgh Fringe

Dizzee Rascal has been added to this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe line up. The ‘Dirtee Cash’ star will be among the performers at the annual Scottish arts event, along with Flawless – a dance troupe who found fame winning UK TV talent show `Britain’s Got Talent’ – and an estimated other 21,148 acts.

Chief executive Kath Mainland said: “I am delighted to unveil the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme, which yet again exemplifies why the Fringe is the world’s leading arts festival.

“Edinburgh in August will be bursting with the most talented artists from every area of the arts world. Nowhere else can you see such a variety of world-class talent and range of shows that are guaranteed to engage, enthral, excite and delight.”

This year marks the 64th Festival Fringe festival, which will run for 24 days throughout August – starting on August 6.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (11.06.10) at 8am.
