Eminem has been announced as the first act for a new festival to be held in Scotland.
The 40-year-old rapper will headline the Glasgow Summer Sessions, held in the city's Bellahouston Park, on August 20.
The event includes a variety of shows of different genres taking place over 10 days, with Eminem's performance coming just a few days before he plays the Reading and Leeds festivals.
Geoff Ellis, the chief executive of organisers DF Concerts, said he was "delighted" the Detroit-born musician had signed up.
"His performance at T in the Park and his previous stadium show at Hampden were spectacular, so this gig will be one of the events of the year," said Mr Ellis.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers III, is due to release his new album this year - heralded by MTV as one of the "most anticipated of 2013."
His last studio album was 2010's Recovery.
The rapper has already recorded more than 40 million album sales and 42 million track downloads in the US alone.
Tickets for the star's performance at the Summer Sessions go on sale on January 30, with more acts soon to be announced.
