Sir Rod Stewart is coming to Edinburgh this summer with the announcement that he'll be hosting an unmissable show at Edinburgh Castle.
The legendary singer is following up his hugely successful UK tour in 2022, with the announcement of a run of special summer shows.
Kicking off at Home Park Stadium in Plymouth on Saturday, June 24, the run will culminate with the one-off night in the capital, returning to the famous Edinburgh landmark on Thursday, July 6, as part of his Global Hits Tour.
Returning to Edinburgh Castle for the first time in 13 years, Sir Rod also revisits Plymouth, Durham and Hull for some long overdue shows and will make his first appearances at Northampton and Badminton.

Tickets are set to go on-sale Friday, February 17 at 10 am from Ticketmaster.co.uk.
The star confirmed the shows are set to be filled with show-stopping classics and fan favourites from across his impressive career.
"My favourite memories have been summer nights with a beer or two alongside the best fans in the world,” Rod said of the run of dates. “I'm impatiently awaiting this summer playing at a variety of special venues - football, cricket and rugby stadiums, estates and castles! We'll all be dancing under the stars."
Sir Rod recently dedicated a song on his acclaimed 31st studio album The Tears Of Hercules, to his Leith-born father, Robert.
Describing him as “a Scotsman and plumber by trade” in the lyrics of the song Touchline, he also paid loving reference to Robert's love for football, his eventual passing and how he now watches over Rod and his family forever.
