Calvin Harris' homecoming gig at Hampden Park on Saturday, August 1, will be livestreamed on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 1, and BBC Sounds, the BBC announced. The performance, which Harris called a 'huge moment,' will feature tracks from his two-decade career, including hits like We Found Love and One Kiss.
Details of the Broadcast
The 42-year-old Dumfries-born DJ will headline two dates at Hampden Park on August 1 and 2. The BBC will broadcast the Saturday show live, allowing fans who missed out on tickets to watch from home. The broadcast is part of the BBC's Summer of Music 2026, which also includes exclusive performances from Sam Smith and Charli XCX, as well as documentaries on David Bowie, Wham!, and Madonna.
Harris' Excitement
Speaking about the homecoming gigs, Harris told the BBC: 'Coming back to Scotland to headline two dates at Hampden Park is a huge moment for me. I'm excited to play live in front of a home crowd and amazing to be partnering with the BBC and Sony Music Vision on the Saturday show.'
Career Highlights
Calvin Harris debuted in 2007 with I Created Disco and has since become known for chart-topping hits. His last Scottish performance was at TRNSMT in 2024, where he headlined the final night at Glasgow Green. Jonathan Rothery, head of BBC Popular Music TV, said: 'There are few artists who have shaped contemporary dance music quite like Calvin Harris. We are delighted to bring his landmark homecoming show from Glasgow to audiences right across the UK.'
Personal Life
Harris married BBC Radio 1 DJ Vick Hope in September 2023, and they have a son, Micah, born in July 2025. The family splits time between a five-bedroom mansion in Gloucestershire and a 138-acre farm in Ibiza. Harris has indicated he may stop DJing after age 50, saying: 'The more commercial end [of DJing], it gets a little bit suspect. I think I’d prefer to be in the studio making tunes.'
