Rag'n'Bone Man has been announced as the headliner for Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens to help welcome the New Year.

Around 10,000 tickets are set to go on sale on Tuesday 12 September, which will be priced at: £55 for the gardens, £65 for the enclosure and £150 premium.

Rag'n'Bone Man has enjoyed a phenomenal 2017, with his album Human becoming the fastest-selling debut by a British male in history.

The title track, "Human", went to No.1 on iTunes in over 40 countries and to date has sold almost four million copies.

His other hit, "Skin" has sold over 1.2 million copies around the world.

The artist, whose real name is Rory Graham, said: "Excited to be breaking the New Year in with the Scots at Einburgh's Hogmanay, what a sick even for a debut show."

Event directors Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam said: 'We're delighted to have one of the UK's most exciting new artists headlining Edinburgh's Hogmanay in our first year of producing the event.

"This has been Rag'n'Bone Man's year and so where better to end it than at the mother of all New Year celebrations in Edinburgh."
