Calvin Harris will deliver a career-spanning set at Hampden in Glasgow

Calvin Harris's Scottish homecoming show at Hampden Park in Glasgow next month will be broadcast live on the BBC.

Harris will deliver a 20-year career-spanning set at Scotland's national stadium on Saturday 1 August, to go out on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Sounds.

The DJ and producer, from Dumfries, released his debut album I Created Disco in 2007, with songs including One Kiss with Dua Lipa and We Found Love with Rihanna topping charts around the world.

He said: "Coming back to Scotland to headline two dates at Hampden Park is a huge moment for me."

He added: "I'm excited to play live in front of a home crowd and amazing to be partnering with the BBC and Sony Music Vision on the Saturday show."

BBC Music has covered Harris throughout his career, from early performances at Radio 1 in Ibiza through to seven appearances at Radio 1's Big Weekend, including Glasgow in 2014 and Coventry in 2022.

Jonathan Rothery, head of BBC Popular Music TV, said: "There are few artists who have shaped contemporary dance music quite like Calvin Harris.

"We are delighted to bring his landmark homecoming show from Glasgow to audiences right across the UK, giving millions of fans the chance to be part of what promises to be a truly special night."

Tom Mackay, president of Sony Music Vision, said: "Calvin Harris is one of the defining artists of dance music, and this performance captures a truly special moment in his career."

Calvin Harris: Live from Scotland forms part of the BBC's Summer of Music 2026.

Other highlights include coverage from UK festivals and live music events, documentaries celebrating Madonna, Wham! and David Bowie and performances from artists such as Charli XCX and Sam Smith.
