Other acts on the bill include Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Camilla Cabello and AJ Tracey.

Scots fans were delighted when a video, posted on the BBC Radio One twitter account, confirmed rumours that the annual music event would be returning to Scotland.

Dundee, Scotland's fourth largest city, played host to the Big Weeekend back in 2006.

The event has also played Glasgow and Perth.

More acts are set to be announced over the coming months.

It's unknown if West Lothian chart-topper, Lewis Capaldi will be added to the line-up.

Last week we told how Calvin Harris has created a new alias – because he’s feeling “negativity” around his name.

The 36-year-old’s real name is Adam Wiles.

He recently released two Acid House-flavoured tracks as Love Regenerator.
