Scottish pop-rock icons Del Amitri will kick off next year's Summer Nights on the Southside festival with special guest King Creosote
The four-day festival, running from June 26-29, will also feature acclaimed British singer-songwriters Kathryn Williams &Withered Hand on the opening night.
Del Amitri frontman Justin Currie revealed earlier this year he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and has had to "relearn" how to sing hits including Nothing Ever Happens and Always The Last to Know.
The band performed at the festival's sister event at Kelvingrove Bandstand last year with BBC presenter and super-fan Laura Keunsberg spotted in the sell-out crowd.
Echo and the Bunnymen will return to Glasgow on June 28 with special guests the Lightning Seeds and Liverpool singer-songwriter Michael Head, who has been described by the NME as "among the most gifted British songwriters of his generation."
The final day will see indie favourites Ocean Colour Scene perform, backed by Glasvegas, Ben Walker and London's 'First Lady of Soul' PP Arnold.
