The full live music programme has been revealed for a large-scale festival set to debut in Glasgow this summer. 

The Queen’s Park Food Festival will take place on June 6 and 7, and organisers have unveiled a diverse music programme headlined by well-loved tribute acts to The Commitments and UB40.

The festival will also offer various free attractions and family-friendly activities.

Michael Johnston, festival organiser, said: "One of our core values is to champion locality across all aspects of the event.

"Our main stage gives us a fantastic opportunity to do this, so we’re proud to showcase many of the wonderful musicians and performers from across the region’s vibrant music scene."



Saturday's music line-up will kick off at 11am, featuring performances from saxophonist Will Forrester, blues and country soloist Howlin’ Mat, acoustic roots duo Mambo Jambo, and more. 

Day one will conclude with genre-spanning performances from The McCommitments and Ibiza Sax Classics.

On Sunday, festival-goers can look forward to performances from community-built Rock Choir, Glasgow-based guitar duo Solea, and four-piece covers and originals band Eilidh & The Energy.

The day’s festivities will wrap up with the UB40 tribute band One In Ten and another set from Ibiza Sax Classics.

In addition to the music, attendees can look forward to a variety of free attractions and activities, such as a live cookery theatre and magic shows.

The Sizzling Showdown Arena will host three competitions each day: a family dog show, a Chilli Challenge, and the Foodie Olympics, offering sports day-style activities with a culinary twist.



Next to the arena will be an inflatable banana jousting ring, where friends and families can compete in "light-hearted" challenges.

Early bird tickets for the festival are currently available, priced at £6.95 for adults, £4.95 for those under 16, and free for children under five.
