Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music says: "Like so many cities around the UK, Glasgow's music scene is flourishing. We're looking forward to shining a light on the city's talented creatives and bringing listeners four days of live performances and DJ sets from some of the fantastic artists that Tom and Deb have championed since the show began in June."
