Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald is heading back on the road, and fans have every reason to get excited. With a new album on the way, big festival dates lined up, and a highly anticipated return to her hometown, Amy’s 2025 tour is shaping up to be something special. Here are five key things you need to know.

1. A New Album Powers the Tour

Amy’s sixth studio album, Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?, is set for release on 11 July 2025. The tour follows hot on the heels of this launch, blending brand-new material with the classic hits fans know and love. The title track explores Amy’s reflections on streaming culture, the power of live music, and what audiences really want in an era of constant digital noise. This tour is more than just a chance to hear the new songs—it’s a celebration of her creative journey.

2. A Triumphant Homecoming in Glasgow

One of the most emotional highlights of the tour will be Amy’s two-night run at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro in December. The first date sold out in minutes, prompting a second show due to overwhelming demand. It’s a full-circle moment for Amy, who grew up just outside the city and started out playing smaller venues like King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Now she’s headlining one of Scotland’s biggest arenas. Expect emotional speeches, crowd singalongs, and a setlist packed with fan favourites.

3. Festival Season Comes First

Before the main tour begins, Amy will be lighting up some of Europe’s most iconic festivals. She’s scheduled to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival in June, as well as several dates across Germany and Switzerland over the summer. Festival-goers can expect high energy sets, a mix of old and new songs, and plenty of connection between Amy and the crowd. For fans who prefer sunshine and festival vibes, these are unmissable.

4. Her Fans Are the Fuel

Amy has always been open about how her fans inspire her, and this tour reflects that bond. One of the new songs, Can You Hear Me?, was written in response to a live crowd’s energy at a festival performance. Another, the album’s title track, was inspired by the feeling she got while watching U2 perform in Las Vegas. Amy doesn’t just perform to a crowd—she performs with them. Expect stories, laughs, and moments where she turns the mic to the audience for some unforgettable singalongs.

5. Why You Won’t Want to Miss This

If you’re on the fence about catching Amy on tour, here are a few things that might help you decide. The setlists will include her biggest hits like This Is The Life and Mr Rock & Roll, alongside brand-new material that already has fans buzzing. Some dates will feature rising indie act Better Joy as support, adding even more musical depth to the night. Tickets are already selling fast, especially for key venues—so grab them while you can!

Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering Amy Macdonald for the first time, the 2025 tour promises heartfelt songs, powerful performances, and a connection that only live music can deliver.
