Biffy Clyro, Calvin Harris and Bruno Mars headlined last year’s event, which took place in Londonderry.

Nick Grimshaw said: “[I’m] so excited to announce that we are going to be partying in Glasgow this summer. There is a rule that the further north you go, the more fun the gig will be so I’m psyched to be in Scotland this year.”
