Stirling will host its first ever Summer Sessions series of concerts next year.

Organiser DF Concerts plans to bring the much-loved live music series to the foot of Stirling Castle.

Stirling will join Edinburgh and Glasgow as a host city in Scotland.

The city will be celebrating its 900th anniversary in 2024.

Council leader Chris Kane said: “It’s hugely exciting and fitting for us to host the Summer Sessions for the first time as we celebrate this major milestone.”

The event will take place at Stirling City Park – with a full programme of events expected to be announced soon.

There are also Summer Sessions in Bedford, Chepstow, Derby, Plymouth and Southampton – where the likes of Jess Glynne, Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Hozier, and Kaiser Chiefs appear on the different line-ups.
