Another line-up of massive acts have been announced for this year's Glasgow Summer Sessions.
Kings of Leon will return to the city following their sold-out performance in 2013 in the festival's debut year.
British megastars Catfish and the Bottlemen will be playing their first Scottish festival headline show, supported by Twin Atlantic, the DMA's, Peace and Neon Waltz.
The previously announced Kendrick Lamar will be supported by N.E.R.D and Bugzy Malone.
The Wombats will join Kings of Leon, for a rock-fused festival atmosphere on August 22.
The English trio will make their Glasgow Summer Sessions debut this year, following the release of their fourth studio album Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life in February this year.
Glaswegian rockers Twin Atlantic come home to Bellahouston Park as they join Catfish and the Bottlemen on August 25, for what is sure to be a serious party atmosphere.
Making an epic much-awaited return to Scotland is superstars N.E.R.D. Releasing their much-anticipated first album in seven years, N.E.R.D. are firmly back at the helm of hip-hop, and will take to the Glasgow Summer Sessions stage on August 29, joining the Kendrick Lamar-headlined bill for a show that is sure to go down in Glasgow’s musical history.
Geoff Ellis, CEO of DF Concerts said: “We couldn’t be happier to complete the headliner announcement and special guests for Glasgow Summer Sessions 2018.
“Kings of Leon’s live shows have become legendary in Scotland. They previously joined us for the inaugural Summer Sessions event in 2013, playing to around 35,000 fans and they always bring a phenomenal, high powered show to Scotland and will be joined by special guests The Wombats.
“Heading to Glasgow Summer Sessions for their only Scottish date of the summer, Catfish and the Bottlemen really are one of the hottest British guitar bands around at the moment and never disappoint with their energetic live sets.
"Following an incredible set at TRNSMT last year, fans of Van and co are in for a treat when they see the band at their first headline festival slot in Scotland along with Twin Atlantic, DMA’s, Peace and Neon Waltz.
“We’re absolutely delighted to bring Kendrick Lamar back to Scotland who is truly at the top of his game after an outstanding show at The SSE Hydro and will follow in the footsteps of Eminem, Biffy Clyro and Calvin Harris to headline Glasgow Summer Sessions with American hip-hop and rock icons N.E.R.D and Bugzy Malone.
“Glasgow Summer Sessions is shaping up to be an unmissable part of the lively Scottish music calendar for this year.”
