Laura Mvula, Rick Astley, Belinda Carlisle and Richard Hawley will also play slots.

Now in it’s seventh year, the festival will be opened by Suzanne Vega, while Edwyn Collins and Altered Images will bring it to a close on the final night.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 9am, and are available from Ticketmaster and all the other usual outlets.

Mark Mackie, director of Regular Music said: “We are delighted to announce four new additions to the Summer Nights Concert series.

“Singer-songwriter and activist Billy Bragg, the iconic American indie rock band Pixies, from Stornoway, Peat & Diesel with their rip-roaring tunes and down-to-earth tales of island life and we have and the award-winning singer-songwriter Laura Mvula.

“They join the already impressive list of headlining artists that were due to pay in postponed 2020/21 concerts.”

It comes after the 13-date event has been cancelled for the past two years due to the pandemic.

But organisers Regular Music will be hoping that the big return will be a sell-out at Kelvingrove.

Indie rock legends Pixies have been added to the revised line-up, making it their return to Glasgow after selling out in 2017.
