[ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT] – Connor Liam Byrne

Introducing Connor Liam Byrne – Performing on Sunday 28 June 2026 on the Scottish Citylink Discovery Stage
Connor Liam Byrne & The Bad Kissers bring unapologetic glamour, volume and attitude wherever they go. Described as a bombastic, junkshop glam-rock extravaganza, their sound is built on big guitars, bigger choruses and a fearless commitment to rock ’n’ roll excess. Drawing inspiration from 70s American FM radio while embracing a raw, modern edge, their music is loud, theatrical and impossible to ignore.
Led by Connor Liam Byrne, the band have quickly carved out a reputation for explosive live performances that blur the line between chaos and celebration. Their debut album In Hell made a strong impact, reaching number 14 in the Scottish Album Chart and marking them out as one of Scotland’s most exciting emerging rock acts.
At the heart of their music is a sense of fun, rebellion and connection — songs that don’t overthink things, but instead invite audiences to lean in, sing along and lose themselves in the moment. With lipstick-stained anthems and a swagger that feels both nostalgic and defiant, Connor Liam Byrne & The Bad Kissers deliver a live experience that’s as much about attitude as it is about sound.
For those looking to discover something loud, confident and gloriously over-the-top, this is a set not to miss.
