Ewan McVicar site map for Ayr festivals unveiled ahead of huge music weekend

It's less than one week to go until some of the biggest icons in dance music head for Ayr beach.

Two mega festivals are set to take over the Low Green, with Scots DJ Ewan McVicar making a massive homecoming before stalwarts of the genre head for a nostalgic STREETrave bash.

Thousands will be itching to get the party started with Ayr to hose its first ever dance music festival.

A crowd of 12,500 is expected over two days with almost 40 acts taking to the arena.

On Saturday, Kincaidston lad Ewan McVicar will play his own backyard in front of a sell out 7,500. He'll be joined by top acts of the UK dance scene including London's Skream and Glasgow's Optimo.

Sunday will see a blast from the past hit the seaside for the first time in 30 years. Soul II Soul, Inner City and Roger Sanchez are just a few who will make their first Ayr bow since the 90s when STREETrave once ruled the Pavilion.

With just one week to go fans have been given a glimpse at what they can expect of the two sites on each day.

Here Ayrshire Live takes a look at how the arena will shape up over the weekend:

Ewan McVicar's big day will see 7,500 pack into the Low Green.

By the time Saturday rolls on the beachfront space will be completely transformed.

Fans will first walk through the dual entrance and exit to be greeted by a huge Ferris Wheel at the site.

Straight ahead will be the Bendy Bus. A separate tent then sits to the right with the VIP section to the left.

The main stage is then straight up ahead just in front of the iconic Ayr Pavilion.

Bars are one side of the main stage arena with food and merchandise stalls to the opposite side.

The layout for the second day of partying on the Low Green will resemble much of the same as the first.

A dual entrance and exit faces onto the giant Ferris wheel with the main stage sitting in front of the Pavilion.

The only noticeable difference is the addition of benches where the Bendy Bus is showing in the Pavilion Festival layout.
