CHART-TOPPING sensation Jess Glynne has announced that she will perform at Falkirk Football Stadium next summer.

The singer-songwriter, who is enjoying great success in the UK, will take to the stage for the outdoor show at Falkirk Football Stadium on Saturday, August 5.

This one-off show – Jess’ only Scottish gig in 2017 – follows a summer performing at a number of festivals, including Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Isle of Wight Festival, Glastonbury and T in the Park. She’s also just completed an arena tour of the UK.

Having first risen to prominence as a featured vocalist on Clean Bandit’s Grammy Award-winning single Rather Be, Jess has achieved great success. Her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh, went straight in at number one in the top 10 in August 2015, and she’s the second ever British female solo artist to have five number one singles in the UK. Her hits include Take Me Home; Ain’t Got Far to Go; and Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself.

Announcing the Scottish show, Jess said: “Performing live to my fans is what I love to do. I always enjoy summer festivals, so am looking forward to heading to Falkirk in August. We’ll have a great time and I hope lots of my Scottish fans can come and join me.”

The show is being organised by concert promoter, LCC Live, which brought Sir Tom Jones and Rod Stewart to Falkirk in 2015 and 2014 respectively.

Carlie Davidson of LCC Live, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be back at Falkirk Football Stadium and to be welcoming the wonderful Jess Glynne. She has the most sensational voice, which paired with her catchy melodies, will ensure a superb night of dancing and singing.

"Jess has secured great chart success, and is always a popular artist at summer festivals, so we expect tickets to be in high demand. Fans had best be quick."
