American pop star Chappell Roan will perform at the Edinburgh Summer Sessions festival on August 26, 2025, at the Royal Highland Showgrounds. This marks her biggest Scottish gig to date, following a sold-out performance at Glasgow's O2 Academy in September 2024.
Roan gained prominence in 2023 with her debut studio album, *The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess*, which featured popular singles like "Good Luck, Babe!" and "Hot to Go". The album received attention from publications such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, and TIME.
Summer Sessions promoters, Gigs in Scotland, describe Roan as a multifaceted pop artist known for bold pop hooks, sex positivity, and honest songwriting.
Tickets for the event went on sale starting Friday, April 11, 2025, at 9 am, with presale access beginning on Thursday, April 10. Sam Fender is also among the acts announced for the Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
