In the meantime, fans can relive how he closed his UK summer dates for 2022 in epic style in front of 100,000 people at Scotland’s national football stadium on July 16 and 17th.

The live record of summer 2022, Gerry is releasing a double album, a stunning celebration of those historic gigs, capturing the energy and raucous chemistry generated between the hometown hero and his amazing fans.

Gerry Cinnamon Live At Hampden Park

Gerry’s gigs have become folklore – joyous mass fan singalongs inspiring devotion and a dedicated following that has swelled, via word-of-mouth, to global proportions. And Hampden did not disappoint. The live album ‘Live at Hampden Park’ showcases that unique bond between artist and crowd that makes live music such a life affirming experience - and stands as a memento of that special summer when music came roaring back to the fans.

The two history-making homecoming shows at Hampden Park, the conclusion of Gerry’s record-breaking 2021-2022 tour, delivered as expected. First announced in 2019 but delayed due to the pandemic, it was clear that the massed ranks of Gerry’s followers, who snapped up every ticket in a matter of hours, were ready to party.

Drawing on his two hit albums with songs that generate a legendary live experience the live album includes ‘Dark Days’, ‘Sun Queen’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Where We’re Going’ and platinum-certified singles ‘Sometimes’ and ‘Belter’ It also features the first flavour of new music, with previously unreleased track ‘Sacred’, a stunning tribute to his hero Billy Connolly with his own rendition of ‘I Wish I Was in Glasgow’, and fan favourite ‘Discoland’.

Gerry says: “Live album out July. Bout time I put out a live album. The tunes aren’t complete until they’re sung live. Crowd are part of the band. Been meaning to do it for years but been caught up in a wee whirlwind. Had to be done for Hampden tho. Album three cooking in the pot as well.”

The continuing ascent of Gerry Cinnamon is one of contemporary music’s most outstanding stories. Rising from a self-released debut album (2017’s ‘Erratic Cinematic’, which has since gone Platinum), Gerry has become a stadium, arena and castle-filling headliner. In 2020, his hotly anticipated second album ‘The Bonny’ shot straight to Number 1 in the Official Album Charts in the UK and became the third biggest selling UK album released that year.

And as a multi-platinum selling artist whose revealing and honest songs naturally connect with a huge and devoted audience, he’s achieved it all entirely independently.

Having organically built up a huge following over the past 5 years, Gerry has become the UK’s biggest independent artist.

The two history-making homecoming shows at Hampden Park concluded Gerry’s record-breaking 2021-2022 tour. His 350,000-capacity UK and Ireland tour, originally due to happen in 2020, included sold out shows at Birmingham and Manchester Arenas, London’s iconic Alexandra Palace, the 25,000 capacity Malahide Castle, Dublin, and Musgrave Park Stadium, Cork. He also headlined at Swansea’s Singleton Park, the second biggest show ever held in the Welsh city, AND set the record as the first artist to sell out three headline shows at the Belsonic, Belfast, playing to over 60,000 fans.
