Announcing the concert, Gigs in Scotland wrote: “Bold pop hooks, sex positivity, honest songwriting, and a heavy dose of glitter make up the world of Chappell Roan, the multi-faceted pop artist taking the world by storm.
“The LA-based singer, songwriter, and performer exploded into stardom with her 2023 debut studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, a technicolor tale of self-discovery that landed on multiple year-end lists (Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, TIME, more).”
Last month, Roan replaced herself at the top of the singles charts, the Official Charts Company said.
The singer, 27, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, secured top spot with her new country single The Giver.
Roan’s first foray into the county genre replaced her song Pink Pony Club as UK number one.
“We’ve never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” Roan wrote in an Instagram post.
“I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bonfires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.”
