Prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime musical event as the legendary Emmylou Harris, a true titan of American music, performs an exclusive show as part of her UK tour at the Emirates Arena.

A 14-time Grammy Award winner, Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Emmylou Harris is one of the most admired and influential women in music. She is the undisputed queen of Country Rock and Americana, a song interpreter and writer whose elegantly expressive voice has graced more than 25 albums and countless collaborations with icons like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Mark Knopfler, and Dolly Parton. Forty years into her career, Harris continues to share the hard-earned wisdom that hopefully, if not inevitably, comes with getting older, though she’s never stopped looking ahead.

This performance is part of a hugely limited tour, offering a rare and precious opportunity for Scottish audiences to witness her stately mastery live. From the cosmic country of her work with Gram Parsons to the haunting brilliance of Wrecking Ball and Red Dirt Girl, Harris has spent five decades weaving a timeless tapestry of folk, rock, pop, and traditional country.

Opening the evening is Jim Lauderdale is a towering figure in Americana and country music, celebrated as a two-time Grammy winner and a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His extraordinary, decades-spanning career boasts an impressive 37 albums and numerous collaborations with legends such as Elvis Costello and Ralph Stanley.

Do not miss the chance to experience the unparalleled artistry and enduring, crystal-clear voice of a genuine national treasure.
