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.

"The great line-up that's been secured is testament to that.
"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."

Sir Kenneth Calman dead aged 83 as tributes paid to academic
His daughter, the comedian Susan Calman, announced the news on social media. She wrote on Instagram: "My dad died earlier this week. This is a photo is him and my Mum on their wedding day 58 years ago. It's a horrific time but I'm lucky to have supportive family, friends and a wonderful partner to hold me up. Read More: "Thanks to the incredible staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow for treating him with such kindness and dignity and for the compassion they showed us. It made the bleakest of times more bearable. When he was conscious and alert I told him I loved him. "He said 'you're wonderful' and I said 'so are you'. Grief is so completely, overwhelmingly, physically painful, but as others have said such feelings are an indication of how loved he was, is and always will be." Sir Kenneth was elected Chancellor of the University of Glasgow in 2006, and famously led the Calman Commission which reviewed Scottish devolution. The commission recommended that the Scottish Parliament receive greater tax-raising powers and further devolution on things such as administration of elections, the national speed limit and new borrowing powers. He was vice-chancellor of Durham University from 1998 and 2006. Professor Karen O'Brien, Vice-Chancellor and Warden, said: 'Our University community is deeply saddened by the death of Sir Kenneth Calman, who steered the University into an even stronger position through the developments he oversaw during an almost 10-year tenure. 'He left a tremendous legacy. Our thoughts and condolences are with all his family and friends." Former Durham University Chancellor (2005-2011), the author Bill Bryson, said: 'Kenneth Calman was a consummate Vice-Chancellor, indeed a consummate human being - wise, thoughtful, irrepressibly good-natured, deeply devoted to Durham and greatly admired by students and staff alike. 'Working beside him was an inspiration and a pleasure. I will miss him very much." Anne Galbraith, former Chair of University Council, said: 'I knew Ken slightly when he was Chief Medical Officer, so it was a great pleasure to get to know him better when I joined the Council of the University. 'His tenure included some major developments in the University, not least teaching medicine. 'Ken was always such good company, with an impish smile. He wore his learning and achievements lightly, and, for myself, he will always be remembered for his charm and unfailing good nature.'
