KT Tunstall, the Grammy-nominated, Brit Award-winning artist, will bring her electrifying live show to the Genesis Scottish Open on Saturday, 12th July.
Known for her soulful voice, dynamic stage presence, and pioneering loop pedal performances, Tunstall has captivated audiences worldwide with hits like Black Horse and the Cherry Tree and Suddenly I See.
A true trailblazer, she has spent two decades evolving her sound, seamlessly blending folk, rock, and pop, while remaining one of the most compelling live performers of her generation.
