Amy Macdonald to perform surprise free pop up set in Glasgow to mark new single

Amy Macdonald is to set to treat shoppers to a free pop up set in Glasgow following the release of her new single.

The chart-topping Scottish singer has lined up a surprise performance at Prince’s Square at 1pm on Friday.

It follows the announcement of her sixth album, which is due to be released on July 11, and the confirmation of her upcoming tour dates.

Her upcoming tour, which includes a homecoming show at the OVO Hydro on December 12, will kick off on November 20.

The singer’s new single This What You’ve Been Waiting For? premiered on BBC Radio 2 on Thursday morning.

Macdonald said: “I feel very lucky to be in the place I am now. I’ve got this career, good friends, my family, and people still seem to want to hear my music, which is great. There’s a realness in me, something raw – honestly I’m winging it most of the time.”

“This song was actually inspired by when they opened The Sphere in Las Vegas – I woke up one day and saw all of these videos of it, and I thought, this is incredible! I was totally blown away by it, and it reminded me of how gigs are experiences. It really inspired me and made me think about how music is for me, and gigs have always been the most important part.

“But streaming has created the demand for new music all of the time – it’s like a constant treadmill. This song is my view on how people always expect more music and social media content.”
