Emeli who's latest single Clown is now a Top 10 sales and airplay hit, said: "I'm very excited as always to be coming back and playing in Aberdeen, but this time will be extra special as we finish the UK tour there.

"It's going to be a night of celebration and fun with family, friends and fans in my hometown and I look forward to seeing you at the show!"

Emeli's last appearance in the city was her headlining performance as part of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay in June, where she played a short set to thrilled fans at the city's Castlegate; her last full concert, a sell-out show at the Music Hall, was in April 2012.
