BBC Scotland is producing highlights programmes of the 6 Music Festival which will be broadcast on BBC Two Scotland on Sat 25 March at 10.15pm and Friday 31 March at 11.05pm and BBC Four on Sunday 26 March at 10pm.

Paul Rodgers, Head of Programmes for 6 Music, says: “It’s exciting to be able to take the 6 Music Festival to Glasgow this March, and we can’t wait to explore some of the City’s famous venues and dig into its fantastic music scene and heritage. The Festival’s line up is full of the kind of interesting artists you’d expect from 6 Music such as Goldfrapp, Sleaford Mods and Depeche Mode, but with an emphasis on some of the Scottish artists that our listeners love, with Edwyn Collins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Belle & Sebastian, Sacred Paws, King Creosote, Honeyblood and Optimo all performing.

"It’s going to be a brilliant weekend of music for the city and those at home who can tune in via DAB, at bbc.co.uk/6music and via BBC Red Button.”

Sharon Mair, Editor Radio Music and Events, BBC Radio Scotland, says: “I am delighted that BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 6 Music are working closely to together to bring fantastic music to our audiences during the Festival and Fringe, including a very special Quay Sessions simulcast on both networks featuring one of Scotland’s most influential musicians, Edwyn Collins. We would like to thank all the local partners, venues, promoters and Glasgow City Council for their fantastic support and we look forward to working with them.”

Councillor Frank McAveety, Leader of Glasgow City Council, says: “As the UK’s first ever UNESCO City of Music, Glasgow lives and breathes music 365 days a year. Since Radio 1’s Big Weekend came here in 2014 - when a fantastic local crowd showed the world that Glasgow knows how to party - we’ve been working with the BBC to bring another event here. I’m delighted we can announce the next chapter in this exciting relationship as the first Scottish city to host the 6 Music Festival. This reinforces our position as a must-play destination, with great people, great music and a hugely ambitious events industry.”
