STV NewsAmy Macdonald was joined by fans in Glasgow for a free hometown performance following the announcement of her upcoming album.
The chart-topping Scottish singer performed a surprise show at Prince’s Square at 1pm on Friday.
It followed the announcement of her sixth album, Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?, which is due to be released on July 11.
Hundreds of fans gathered as Amy took to the stage to play some of her biggest hits.
STV News“It was mental, it was the most random thing I think I’ve ever done. But it ended up really good. People seemed genuinely thrilled and it sounds amazing in here, I was worried it might sound a bit weird,” she said.
Alongside her new album, Amy announced a jam packed tour that is set to kick off on November, 20.
The singer has already almost sold out of shows in Germany ahead of her tour which is set to conclude with a hometown show at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
Speaking on her hometown show this December, Amy said she always feels more nervous playing at home.
STV News“I’m always a bit nervous playing at home city, it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve played here, it’s still more nerve racking than anywhere else because it’s your people and you want to put on a good show,” she said.
“Even today, it makes me way more nervous because I want to make my city proud, I’ve always flown my flag for Scotland and been really passionate about where I come from.”
One of Amy’s biggest hits came out almost 20 years ago, and This is The Life continues to be a favourite among fans.
“It’s crazy cause I remember when I brought that album out I was constantly getting asked well where do you see yourself in five years, and I never really knew,” she said.
“The fact that it’s something I’m still doing 20 years later blows my mind a little bit. I’m very grateful for it.”
