Dundee Summer Sessions full line-up confirmed as Stereophonics headline second day

Welsh rock legends Stereophonics have been announced as the headliner for the second day of Dundee's first ever Summer Sessions.

The band, known for hits like Dakota and Have a Nice Day, will be the main act on Sunday June 12 at Slessor Gardens on the city's waterfront.

Support on the second day will come from Lightning Bolt singer Jake Bugg and T-Shirt Weather rockers Circa Waves.

Sunday's additions round off a stellar line-up of rock acts for Summer Sessions, promoted by T In The Park and TRNSMT organisers DF Concerts.

Last year, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds were announced as the Saturday headliner for June 11, with support from Irish band Inhaler - fronted by Elijah Hewson, son of U2's Bono - and breakout Scots star Dylan John Thomas.

Some of the biggest names in music have played the Summer Sessions in Glasgow and Edinburgh, from late electronic producer Avicii to Eminem, The Cure, Kendrick Lamar and Biffy Clyro.

The shows were suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic and 2022 marks the end of their two-year absence.

Edinburgh's line-up has already been confirmed and includes Lionel Ritchie, Michael Kiwanuka, Travis, Simple Minds and Simply Red across five days in the capital in August.

The inclusion of Dundee in the Summer Sessions roster is a further feather in the city's cap, and fulfils an ambition by the concert promoter to bring a new show to the city.

DF had previously been involved in the 3D Festival that marked the opening of VA Dundee in September 2018. The bombastic celebration featured the likes of Primal Scream and Lewis Capaldi.

Tickets for the Saturday Dundee Summer Session show are on sale now, with Sunday and full weekend tickets going on sale from Thursday.
