Noah Kahan will play stadiums in the UK next summer

Chart-topping singer Noah Kahan has announced two stadium shows in the UK next summer.

He will perform at Glasgow's Hampden Park on 13 July and then at Wembley Stadium in London 10 days later - with the gigs sandwiching a show at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on 17 July.

The announcement comes ahead of an autumn run of UK arena shows, including two nights at Glasgow's OVO Hydro, in support of his fourth album The Great Divide.

Earlier this year the record debuted at the top of the Official Albums Chart and it has since been certified gold.

Kahan told the BBC in April that rocketing to fame after the release of his third record, Stick Season, in 2022 had been tough to get to grips with.

He said he often felt sad and lonely onstage when touring that album, before he was later diagnosed with OCD.

The 29-year-old added that success had "fundamentally changed everything about my life", but that returning to his roots in Vermont helped bring him back down to the ground.

Last weekend he performed his biggest North American headline show to date, playing to about 56,000 fans at a sold-out Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena.

His Scottish show is the first gig announced for Hampden in 2027, after this year saw Metallica and Calvin Harris perform at the national football stadium.
