PAOLO Nutini has announced the details of a hometown show this summer – but there's a twist.
We previously reported the New Shoes hitmaker sent social media wild on Tuesday when he teased that he could be returning for a concert in his hometown of Paisley.
Now, in an email to fans, it has been revealed from 8am tomorrow (June 28) 500 pairs of tickets for the one-off show at Paisley Town Hall will be available.
But tickets will only be given to winners of a charity draw, with a £3 text needed to donate and enter the contest.
The gig will take place on Tuesday, August 6.

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!
