He said: 'To be able to announce that I'm playing the Hydro on stage at TRNSMT, in front of the fans who've helped make it happen, is the stuff that dreams are made of.'
'Everything these days is about social media, so there's something special about telling folk about it live during a show, especially in the beautiful sunshine.'
The huge news follows the release of rollicking folk-pop banger Arabella, Nathan's first new single since the success of his sophomore album 1994, and the first to formalise his alchemic relationship with Saint Phnx – aka Alan and Stevie Jukes - as a collaborative single.
It's the logical conclusion of a songwriting partnership which hit a vein of gold in songs like Heather on the Hill, Highland Girl and Flowers In The Water, melding Nathan's love of folk and trad music with a rhythmic and dynamic pop sensibility which took the album to Number 1 in the Scottish charts.
Speaking about forming the group with them, Nathan said: 'Stevie and Alan have been a massive part of my journey since the beginning.'
'We wrote 'Told You So', my first single after Wellerman, together and we're more like brothers now.
"Two years ago I asked them to come on tour with me and it's just grown arms and legs from there.
"So now we're officially Nathan Evans and the Saint Phnx band and I get to travel the world making music with my best mates.
"You can't ask for better than that.'
Live, the combination is a 'potent force', creating a party atmosphere with a literal pub onstage, in ever-larger venues across the UK and Europe.
