Scots indie pop legends 'Bis' are set for an emotional gig in the shadows of Somerset Park.
The three-piece, fronted by diehard Honest Man 'Sci-Fi' Steven Clark, will perform at Cameron's Bar on Friday, July 15.
It marks a long awaited night for Steven, who has played to crowds all around the world during his 25-year career with the band.
And while he admits that playing to T in the Park and touring America and Japan was big, nothing quite matches the magic of performing down Tryfield Place.
He told the Ayrshire Post: "It's actually remarkable that in more than two decades we have never once played in Ayr.
"That should probably be a source of real embarrassment for us but thankfully we get to put it right with this gig.
"When the idea was suggested to me, I jumped at the chance. I'm absolutely buzzing to play the new venue in the Hub and hopefully we can pack a few in and enjoy a good night."
Bis, who comprise Steven, brother John Disco and Manda Rin, shot to fame in the 90s when they were hyped as one of Britain's next big bands.
Appearances at T in the Park and on Top of the Pops saw them catch the eye of music moguls - with them landing a big time record deal in the States.
Steven, 46, laughed: "My claim to fame when explaining our success to younger people is that we were signed to the label of the Beastie Boys over in America.
"So for a while, they were my bosses. It was a pretty mad time and we enjoyed a great run.
"The only bad part was being on tour and missing Ayr games...I remember coming off stage in Japan in 1997 and having to check the scores when we were going for the league title."
But Sci-Fi, who owns popular Glasgow boozers The Sparkle Horse and The Bell Jar, added: "This feels like a long awaited homecoming gig and it's one I can't wait for."
United commercial manager, Martin Tocker, said: "We're thrilled to have an act the calibre of Bis taking to the stage inside Cameron's.
"They have developed a real cult following over the years and are sure to put on a great show. It's a night not to be missed."
Tickets for the gig, which includes Bis plus support, are priced £15 and available from HERE.
