MUSIC legend Chrissie Hynde will take to the stage of Kelvingrove Bandstand on Monday night to kick-start a two-week Summer boutique festival at the popular outdoor venue.

The Pretenders are the first act scheduled for the 10-date Summer Nights Festival, which is running until August 9 and is now in its fifth year.

Fans will be hoping for a break in the rain and to hear some of the band’s biggest hits including Brass in Pocket, Back on the Chain Gang and 2000 miles.

Tickets for most of the acts sold out out as soon as they were announced including Van Morrison, Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry, First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes.
