Bay City Rollers fans from as far away as the US and Japan are to descend on Edinburgh this summer to mark the band's 40th anniversary.
Original singer Les McKeown yesterday vowed to don the tartan trews and lead a karaoke sing-song of the group's famous hits at the convention.
McKeown, 58 said he was looking forward to celebrating with fans from around the world in his home city and raise money for charity.
He said: "I'm looking forward to coming and having a bit of fun - let's leave the sanity at the door."
The Bay City Rollers sparked hysteria when they burst onto the music scene in the 1970s, but Les said it wasn't time to say 'Bye, Bye Baby' just yet.
He refused to rule out rumours that former bandmate, bassist Alan Longmuir, will make a rare public appearance at the convention.
The event is held aid of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation and will be held at Crowne Plaza Roxburghe Hotel, in Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, on July 20.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
