Carnoustie band Gleadhraich will perform for AC/DC fans before the Aussie rockers perform at Hampden.
The band, who were Angus Cultural Ambassadors for 2014, will headline the pre and after-party at Glasgow’s Record Factory.
The show before and after AC/DC’s Scottish leg of their Rock or Bust world tour on June 28 will be in aid of the campaign to raise money for a statue of Bon Scott in Kirriemuir.
The singer, who died in 1980, was born in Forfar and lived in Kirriemuir for five years before moving to Melbourne, Australia.
The campaign to erect a life-size bronze memorial statue, like the one in Melbourne, is being run by Kirriemuir-based community group DD8 Music and needs another £15,000 to reach its target.
Gleadhraich recorded their first EP in DD8’s studio in January last year and frontman Craig Weir said the band was pleased to be involved.
He said: “We’re delighted to be playing the official pre-party and helping the campaign to recognise an Angus music legend.
“We’ve played BonFest several times and last year we supported Chris Slade from AC/DC there.
“It will be great to warm up the Hampden Park crowd for these rock legends. We’re going to throw a few AC/DC classics into our set for them.
“The Rock Or Bust World tour has been a real success so far and I’m sure Glasgow will be no different.”
The Glasgow gig will mark AC/DC’s first time in the UK and Ireland since their Black Ice world tour in 2009.
The legends are celebrating the recent release of Rock Or Bust their first album without guitarist Malcolm Young who is taking a break due to illness.
Gleadhraich’s pre and after-party shows will also feature DJ sets from Danger Ross and Ian McAdam, a barbecue in the beer garden and transport to and from Hampden for the AC/DC gig.
Tickets are still available for the party on the Gleadhraich website at gleadhraich.comFor more information about the Bon Scott statue campaign and to make a donation, go to dd8music.com.
