Lewis Capaldi is taking fellow West Lothian artists and pals Mark Sharp and the Bicycle Thieves on tour with him.
The band - which already has a massive local fan base - will join Capaldi on his European tour in February and March.
Lewis is always keen on giving his pals a leg-up.
He had the Bicycle Thieves boys as support acts previously in Edinburgh in 2019 with fellow West Lothian artists The Snuts and Luke LaVolpe.
Mark Sharp spoke to the Courier, saying it was a “dream come true” for the five-piece.
He said: “We’ve grown up together, he lived round the corner and we all went to the same schools.
“He’s gone on to do amazing things and we hope this is what we need to get a break.
“We’re so grateful to him, we can’t thank him enough. Even after everything he’s achieved he’s still the same guy who looks after his pals.
“Playing arenas will be amazing for us, we’re going to grab this opportunity with both hands. We really can’t wait.”
