Franz Ferdinand are preparing to make their live comeback at a number live events, according to reports.

The Scottish four piece are set to appear at an event hosted by All Tomorrow's Parties, called Bowlie 2 Weekender, Music Rooms reports.

The gig is currently being headlined by fellow Scottish group Belle and Sebastian, with St. Etienne and The Go! Team also appearing.

"The line-up is a bit of a who's who of Scottish indie from the last 30 years - Edwyn Collins, Camera Obscura, Teenage Fanclub - I mean there's only really one name missing from that list, and it's Franz," said a source.

Meanwhile, Franz Ferdinand are back in the studio working on the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand’.
