"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.

"This is an event for businesses throughout the town to benefit from." More details on the event, including how to book tickets, can be found on the Milngavie Street Party
