Sam Fender has announced a huge concert in Scotland next year in a video parody of a scene from The Lord of the Rings.
The Newcastle-born singer starred in a Tolkien-inspired video alongside his bandmates, donning a Hobbit costume.
The video shows the band in various guises, including saxophonist Johnny Davis as the wizard Gandalf, in St James' Park, his boyhood football club, Newcastle FC's stadium.
It leads to them declaring, "The beacons are lit", as the video shows stadiums across the country with flames being shot upwards from them.
Included in those stadiums is Edinburgh's very own Murrayfield.

Born in 1994, the Geordie musician broke through with his debut album Hypersonic Missiles in 2019 before cementing his status with the chart-toppingSeventeen Going Under, whose title track became a coming-of-age anthem for a generation.
Known for his soaring vocals, candid lyricism, and socially conscious songwriting, Fender has won multiple Brit Awards and earned widespread critical acclaim for chronicling the pressures working-class young people face in modern Britain.
His third album, People Watching, continued that success, reinforcing his reputation as one of the UK's leading guitar-based artists.
