Billy Milligan, owner of the venues and festival organiser, said: "We're proud to bring the Milngavie Street Party back for 2025 and to have secured such a high-quality line-up.
"It's crazy to think that some of these guys were on the stage at Glastonbury just a few weeks ago."
Other acts scheduled to perform at this year's festival include The View star Kyle Falconer, Belle and Sebastian's Chris Geddes, and The Beatles Dub Club.
The event, now in its third year, will also host family-friendly activities, food and drink stalls, and a street parade.
Billy said: "It's events like this which really help put Milngavie on the map.
"The street party is a great reason to come into the town and discover more about what we have here.
"Geographically, we're ideally placed for an event like this, bringing people here to visit and stay.
"I don't think there will be another town of Milngavie's size anywhere else in Scotland putting on an event with such a superb line-up this summer."
The Milngavie Street Party will be centred around Stewart Street Car Park, with performances at nearby Charlie's Loft and Fullbacks.
Events on the Friday will take place from 4pm, while the party will start at 12pm on the Saturday.
Open-air bars, street market, and food court are set to entertain festival-goers during the day, with ticketed shows kicking off in the evening.
The festival, backed by Milngavie BID, is expected to boost local businesses and promote the "choose local" message of the Scotland Loves Local Week.

"We're delighted to be involved and to be supporting Billy and his team.
"This is an event for businesses throughout the town to benefit from."

Bring Her Back star has an insanely famous grandad and fans are only just realising
We'd love to be a fly on the wall at their family get togethers The Philippou brothers' highly-anticipated horror film Bring Her Back is out in the UK tomorrow (July 26), two years on from their critically-acclaimed cinematic debut, Talk To Me. Bring Her Back tells the story of two siblings, Piper and Andy, who are fostered following the untimely death of their father. However, their new caregiver Laura (Sally Hawkins) is still grieving the loss of her own daughter, and acts in increasingly odd ways after their arrival at her home. Among the cast are rising Australian stars Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth) and Sora Wong, alongside British actor Billy Barratt. Billy, who plays Andy in the film, may already look familiar to some due to his long list of acting credits which includes appearances in Kraven the Hunter, Sharknado 5 and Invasion. He became the youngest actor ever to win an International Emmy Award for Best Actor when he was just 13 thanks to his role in BBC drama, Responsible Child. However, what fans may not know is that Billy has an insanely famous grandad. The star is related to Welsh music icon Shakin' Stevens (real name Michael Barratt). The music legend's hits include Merry Christmas Everyone, Because I Love You and Give Me Your Heart Tonight. He isn't the only famous family member either. Billy's dad is a sought-after mix engineer called Dean James Barratt who has worked across film and TV and with some big music acts too, including Jess Glynne and Craig David. Shaky, as he is known by fans, is Dean's dad. Meanwhile Billy's mum is also a famous face. Carolyn Owlett is a model, TV and radio host and singer in The 411. She also takes on the role of manager for Billy. Ahead of Bring Her Back's UK release, Billy shared how he got into the mindset for his character Andy. In an interview with Deadline, he revealed: "There were moments where Danny [Philippou] would basically lock me in a room by myself, and he goes, 'Just try and get in character.' "He shut the door, I'm not allowed to leave. I ended up just sitting there with no phone, no nothing — which is great, by the way. I just sat there for ages, and then when I came back outside of that door, back into the scene … you just feel like you are there are in it." He admitted that the technique had actually developed him as an actor, adding: "Seeing the effect it had actually helped me so much, not just in the script but in future projects as well. So thank you, Danny." Bring Her Back releases in UK cinemas July 26

HGV driver who had to give up work says £1m Lottery win ‘takes pressure away'
Ally Gilmour, 57, had to give up work due to ill health but has now won £1,000,000 after matching five main numbers and the bonus ball. The grandfather, from Carluke, South Lanarkshire, has already used some of his winnings to buy matching Volkswagens for himself and his wife Anne, also 57. He also now has a 'man cave' to socialise with friends in, and it includes a dart board, television, games machine and a bar. Mr Gilmour said: 'I've been wanting somewhere to socialise in the garden for years – it's all a part of Scottish culture to have your friends come for a beer or two in the garden, for a laugh and some TV.' He said the win removes the 'pressure' of being unable to work. Mr Gilmour said: 'It was tough coming to terms with not being able to work anymore. This win takes all that pressure away. I can finally focus on my health without the worry.' His numbers came up in the Lottery draw on Saturday June 28 and he realised he had won that night. He called his daughter Siobhan, 34, at 6am the next day, and again at 8am, joking that he wanted a breakfast to match his new status as a millionaire. Mr Gilmour said: 'When I checked my account and saw that the numbers matched up, I just sat there staring at it. It's safe to say I couldn't sleep after that.' He recalled telling his daughter, who was in a cafe at the time and asked him if he wanted breakfast, and he said to her: 'A roll with a square sausage – and some caviar. Don't you know I'm a millionaire?' After confirming the news with the National Lottery, Mr Gilmour said: 'I went out into the garden and shouted, 'I've won the Lottery!' at the top of my lungs. I wanted the whole world to know. It was an incredible feeling.' He added of his win: 'It's not just about me – it's for the whole family. 'We've had a tough time recently and this gives us all an exciting fresh start.'
