Billy Milligan, owner of the venues and festival organiser, said: "We're proud to bring the Milngavie Street Party back for 2025 and to have secured such a high-quality line-up.
"It's crazy to think that some of these guys were on the stage at Glastonbury just a few weeks ago."
Other acts scheduled to perform at this year's festival include The View star Kyle Falconer, Belle and Sebastian's Chris Geddes, and The Beatles Dub Club.
The event, now in its third year, will also host family-friendly activities, food and drink stalls, and a street parade.
Billy said: "It's events like this which really help put Milngavie on the map.
"The street party is a great reason to come into the town and discover more about what we have here.
"Geographically, we're ideally placed for an event like this, bringing people here to visit and stay.
"I don't think there will be another town of Milngavie's size anywhere else in Scotland putting on an event with such a superb line-up this summer."
The Milngavie Street Party will be centred around Stewart Street Car Park, with performances at nearby Charlie's Loft and Fullbacks.
Events on the Friday will take place from 4pm, while the party will start at 12pm on the Saturday.
Open-air bars, street market, and food court are set to entertain festival-goers during the day, with ticketed shows kicking off in the evening.
The festival, backed by Milngavie BID, is expected to boost local businesses and promote the "choose local" message of the Scotland Loves Local Week.

"We're delighted to be involved and to be supporting Billy and his team.
"This is an event for businesses throughout the town to benefit from."

Donald Trump opens new golf course at Aberdeenshire resort
The US president teed off at the New Course in Menie in front of a crowd including golfers, the Scottish First Minister and the Scottish Labour leader. Trump also made reference to late James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery's reported support for his golf resort – even attempting to recreate the actor's voice. Just before hitting the first ball at the New Course, the US president told those gathered on a grandstand: 'We started with a beautiful piece of land, but we made it much more beautiful. 'The area has really welcomed us. If you remember at the beginning there wasn't quite a welcome, but it wasn't bad. 'But with time they liked us more and more, now they love us and we love them.' Trump added: 'I look forward to playing it today. 'We'll play it very quickly and then I go back to DC and we put out fires all over the world.' At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the president thanked his son Eric for his role in creating the new 18-hole course, adding: 'This has been an unbelievable development. 'The land, they said it couldn't get zoned, it was an impossibility. 'And Sean Connery said, 'Let the bloody bloke build his golf course'. 'Once he said that everything came into line. (First Minister) John (Swinney) and I were talking about that last night.' Construction of the new course in Menie began in 2023, with Trump and his son Eric breaking ground on the project. Trump International Scotland claims the two courses will be the 'greatest 36 holes in golf'. Critics say the Trump developments in Scotland have not delivered as many jobs as promised and work at the Menie site has caused environmental damage. Members of the media watched the opening ceremony from a grandstand, with music played beforehand including Roxanne, Thriller, and Surfin' USA, plus music by the Script and Elvis. The president has already played several rounds of golf during his Scottish trip, teeing off at his other resort in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Lewis Capaldi reveals hilarious way he makes himself fall asleep at night
Lewis Capaldi has revealed his sleeping routine and the one bizarre thing that always sends him into a 'delightful' slumber. Lewis Capaldi has revealed his highly unconventional method of getting to sleep and it's with the help of one legendary US rapper. Speaking to Apple Music ahead of the launch of their new curated playlist series, Music That Soothes Me, the beloved Scots singer said he opts to listen to some old school rap by one particular music legend when his head touches the pillow at night. That artist is Eminem, known for his very fast paced rhymes and X-rated lyrics. The Someone You Loved singer explained: 'If I'm going to fall asleep, especially on a plane, I put on Eminem because I feel like it really puts me at ease. 'I listen to a lot of the older stuff like The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show – for some reason it lulls me into a delightful little sleep. Or I'll put on some of my own demos which also really knock me out.' Lewis, who recently made his comeback to the limelight, has opened up about his first time returning to the stage as he admitted that he thought he would never perform again, The Sun reports. The 28-year-old says he is no longer taking antidepressant Sertraline after successfully defeating his demons and getting his mental health back in check. However, Lewis said he has also learned to accept that he will always have some degree of anxiety. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

I'm not on antidepressants any more.' Referencing his new No1 single Survive, Lewis recently told fans during a live stream: 'It was f***ing hard to get off it. "You could say I've survived getting off Sertraline but let's not get into that. This is happy stuff. I'm trying to share less.' The Hold Me While You Wait singer made his return to music last month on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage as the festival's surprise act. Lewis had previously stepped back from singing, cancelling all performances and taking a two year break, after his Glastonbury performance in 2023 saw him struggle so badly with his Tourette's and anxiety that the crowds had to finish his songs for him. Reflecting on his meltdown on stage in 2023 on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lewis said: "The first time did not go well. I had what the children would refer to as a bit of a menty B. A bit of a mental breakdown on stage. Nothing too serious. "I have Tourettes so I used to tic quite a lot and I still do but I used to do this thing with my shoulder and it became really uncontrollable and I had a panic attack on stage at Glastonbury and I couldn't finish the song. "It happened a couple of times at shows and stuff but I think because this one was so publicised and had so many eyes on it, it really made me think I need to go and get this sorted, I can't keep doing this to myself." However, Lewis is now back with a bang. With a UK and worldwide tour on the way this year and a brand new No.1 single, Capaldi said that his iconic Glastonbury return was "probably the best day of my life."
