The alternative rockers will take to the stage in the east end of the city on Thursday, December 4.
The show comes as the band honours their third studio album, Great Divide, which was released in 2014.
It went on to become one of the Glasgow-based band's highest charting albums, reaching number one on the Scottish Album Charts and number six on the UK charts.
To celebrate its success, Twin Atlantic revealed they are releasing a special edition vinyl of the original album on its "tenth birthday".
Not only will it have artwork inspired by the original, but it will also have a live track from Glastonbury.
And the rockers are playing the whole record at their upcoming show, bringing the celebrations full circle.

Ginger-haired pop megastar Ed Sheeran 'caused earthquake' after thousands of fans jumped to hit songs at packed concert
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS of Ed Sheeran made the earth move at a recent gig — causing an earthquake as they jumped around to hit song Shape of You. Specialist equipment near the stadium in Norway registered increased seismic activity. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Ed Sheeran created a small earthquake with a stadium rendition of hit song Shape Of You Credit: Getty 2 Fans at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo, Norway, jumped up and down at a frequency that distorted usual levels Credit: Andrew Barr - The Sun Glasgow Ed encouraged thousands of fans at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo to jump up and down in time to the beat as he bashed out hits last weekend. And scientists at the Norsar foundation — set up to detect earthquakes and nuclear explosions — noticed a clear increase in energy frequency of around two to three hertz, A source said yesterday: 'When tens of thousands of people move in synchrony in this way, the vibrations propagate through the ground and are registered as small but clear signals by seismometers. 'When about 40,000 fans jump at the same time, even an earthquake station can't help but dance a little.' It's not the first time Sheeran, 34, has caused earth tremors at a concert. In August 2023 fans were so excited when he brought local rapper Macklemore on stage at Lumen Field in Seattle they caused a minor earthquake. A month earlier energetic dancing by Taylor Swift fans at the same US venue registered seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake. At the time Prof Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a geology professor at Western Washington University said: 'Ed Sheeran is not someone who I associate with rampant crazy crowd behaviour, 'However, he did bring Macklemore onstage. So here you have a local artist playing Can't Hold Us, which is a very jumpy song and a very high energy song, and the crowd responded appropriately, and it's definitively the strongest shaking we saw.' Ed Sheeran teams up with school pals AND 00s rock legend for epic performance Sheeran is one of the most successful singers of his generation and the third most followed artist globally on streaming platform Spotify. His 2017 hit Shape of You has been streamed 4.5billion times. Perfect, from the same year, has 3.5billion streams and 2014's Photograph just over three billion.
