Calvin Harris brought out Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno for his two huge homecoming shows at Hampden Park. Check out footage of them breaking out their collab ‘Release The Pressure’ below, as well as Harris’ new range of “rave haggis”.

The Scottish musician and DJ’s biggest hometown concerts to date saw him plat to a combined total 100,000 fans across two huge back-to-back shows in Glasgow over the weekend (Saturday August 1 – Sunday August 2), with the first broadcast live across the BBC. 

As well as breaking out hits like ‘We Found Love’, ‘Bounce’ and ‘Feel So Close’, Harris also performed his collaboration with Serge Pizzorno, ‘Release The Pressure’, and brought the Kasabian frontman out as a special guest on both nights.

“Hampden Park get your hands in the air, and make some noise,” Pizzorno said during the performance, singing from a small stage in the middle of the stadium, while Harris was behind the DJ decks on the main stage surrounded by flashing lights and pyrotechnics.

Harris paid tribute to the frontman on Instagram, with Pizzorno also posting: “You turned the home of Scottish football into the home of dance music!”

As well as Pizzorno, Calvin Harris also brought out Clementine Douglas as a special guest at the Glasgow gigs, performing their hit single ‘Blessings’ which dropped in 2025 and saw them nominated for a BRIT Award.

To mark the milestone homecoming gigs, Haris also launched a limited-edition run of “rave haggis” ahead of the shows kicking off.

Coming as a partnership with Scottish butcher Stahly Quality Foods, the haggis was branded as a “tribute to Scottish culture” and “the ultimate collector’s item for those who appreciate exceptional quality produce” on the website, and featured artwork inspired by the 2026 Hampden Park show posters.

“Absolutely buzzing to announce my own HAGGIS to celebrate my two Scotland shows this weekend!”, the Scottish DJ shared on Instagram last week (Thursday July 30), also sharing that fans could buy the haggis at the live shows, as well as on his website.

The shows at Hampden Park came following the Dumfries-born artist playing at Tomorrowland for the first time last week, and also being confirmed as part of the soundtrack for driving game Forza Horizon 6. He is now set to kick off the second leg of his “double residency” in Ibiza on October 2.

When ‘Release The Pressure’ dropped in February, Pizzorno spoke to NME about how the collaboration came together, and also hinted that he would be joining the DJ on stage this summer to “bring the noise”.

“Calvin and I have been in each other’s orbit for about 20 years,” Pizzorno said. “I first saw him perform at Lollapalooza in South America and was absolutely blown away. We recently reconnected, exchanged numbers and decided it was finally time to collaborate in the studio.”

He continued: “We sent it to Calvin and two weeks later I received a message: ‘Banger incoming. Hotel vibes’… I played it and it blew my mind.”

‘Release The Pressure’ came following on from the Leicester indie veterans’ 2025 single ‘Hippie Sunshine’ and ahead of their upcoming album ‘Act III‘. Since it dropped, the band have played festival slots at TRNSMT, Mad Cool and more, as well as a huge show at London’s Finsbury Park on Saturday July 4. They are set to perform at Reading & Leeds later this month too. Visit here for tickets and more information.
