Scottish music icon Paolo Nutini has announced a show in his hometown for later this year, with fans being given the chance to win tickets.
The Candy and Iron Sky singer previously dropped hints of a major show this year and has now confirmed he will be returning to Paisley to play an intimate gig in the Town Hall.
However, securing a ticket will not be a straightforward process after the songwriter revealed that 500 pairs of tickets will only be available to win.
The Paisley musician has chosen two charities including a local enterprise to benefit from the competition.
The show will be on Tuesday, August 6, with the chance to win the tickets going live on Friday 28 June at 8am.
From 8am tomorrow, anyone hoping to attend the concert will have to text a donation to put their name in the hat to win two tickets.
