Sam Fender will play a massive outdoor headline show in Edinburgh this summer, following the release of his third album.
The North Shields singer-songwriter is gearing up to release People Watching on February 21, and was recently forced to cancel the second of two gigs in Glasgow due to illness.
He will return to Scotland on August 22 for a show at the Royal Highland Centre as part of the Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
Fender will be supported by Olivia Dean, with tickets on general sale from Friday February 21.

"His incredible talent and energy make him one of the most exciting live acts around, and we know fans are in for an unforgettable night. The Summer Sessions continue to bring world-class artists to our stage here at Ingliston, and this is set to be one of the highlights of the year."
Also announced on Thursday were dates at Wythenshawe Park, Manchester and Boucher Road Playing Fields, Belfast.
Earlier in the summer, Fender will play three sold-out shows at St James' Park in Newcastle, in his native north-east England.

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.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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.Â
That is invaluable.Â
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.
