Wet Wet Wet have announced they will perform a one-off concert on 20 July to mark the band's 25th anniversary.

The show, at Glasgow Green, will be their first in almost five years.

The band released their debut single, Wishing I Was Lucky, 25 years ago this week. They went on to have 27 hits, selling more than 15m records and featuring in the UK singles and albums charts for a total of 508 weeks.

The lead singer, Marti Pellow, said: "To get to play all those classic pop songs in my hometown will make it a special day for the fans and us." Tickets for the outdoor concert will go on sale on Wednesday.
