The Edinburgh Festival Fringe may be best known for comedy and theatre, but there's also plenty in the programme for music lovers.
While many artists will be performing their own musucal material this year, there are also many talented cover bands and tribute acts playing the hits to delighted audiences for a fraction of the prize of a gig at Murrayfield or The Hydro.
Here are 13 you can bag yourself a ticket for during August.

9. Frank Sinatra
Returning to Edinburgh following his successful tribute show, Frank & Dean, last year Pete Sinclair returns with 'Come Fly With Me' - a full-hour show celebrating the hits of Ol' Blue Eyes himself. Expect all the classic hits, as performed by Sinatra at the iconic Sands Hotel, at Frankenstein Pub at 1.30pm from August 7-26. | Getty Images
