LEGENDARY Scottish artist Paolo Nutini is performing his only Scottish gig for 2023 at the Royal Highland Showgrounds.
However, getting tickets is likely to prove challenging after fans from all over Scotland clamoured to secure their spots last month.
The Paisley-born musician rose to fame after the 2006 launch of his first album These Streets, which included iconic hits like Last Request and New Shoes.
With his one and only Scottish gig of the year just hours away, here is everything you need to know about the Paolo Nutini concert in Edinburgh.

Tickets for Paolo Nutini have been on sale throughout August. However, the availability is now limited, according to Ticketmaster.

How to get to the Royal Highland Showgrounds for the Paolo Nutini concert
The venue is connected to the city centre via the Ingliston tram stop which is a 10-15 minute walk from the south and east entrances.
The stop is also around 20-25 minutes from the north entrance.
Busses also run to the Royal Highland Showgrounds with the drop-off being along the A8 just outside the site.
Those driving can also park on-site but must have advance car parking tickets which can be bought on Ticketmaster.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
