A Grammy-winning artist is set to make her live return to a Glasgow stage.

Sierra Ferrell has announced a major US and European tour for 2026, with a stop at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow on Thursday, June 25.

The show is part of her Heavy Petal tour, which includes more than 40 dates across the US and Europe.

Ferrell previously performed in Glasgow while supporting Mumford and Sons at the OVO Hydro last December.

Ferrell’s latest success includes a sweep of four trophies at the 67th Grammy Awards in 2025.

She won Best Americana Album for Trail of Flowers, Best Americana Performance and Best American Roots Song for American Dreaming, and Best American Roots Performance for Lighthouse.

Her musical journey has also seen her appear on new tracks with a range of artists, including Jesse Welles, Joe Jonas, Kashus Culpepper and Shaboozey.

She has performed with Post Malone during his stadium tour with Jelly Roll.

She has also headlined numerous sold-out shows across the US.

From busking on the streets of New Orleans and Seattle to performing in arenas, she has built a reputation for eclectic live shows.

An artist presale for the Glasgow show begins at 10am on Tuesday, February 10.

The general sale starts at 10am on Thursday, February 12.

The presale sign-up deadline for UK and EU shows is 8pm GMT on Monday, February 9.

Tickets for the Glasgow date will also be available through gigsinscotland.com.

For North American dates, funds will support the National Immigration Law Center.

The charity works to advance and defend the rights of low-income immigrants.

In a feature, The New Yorker described her rise to prominence.

The New Yorker said: “Ferrell built her act not from the comfort of a bedroom but in freight-train boxcars and by playing on the streets as a romantic musical vagabond.”

Hailing from small-town West Virginia, Ferrell began singing Shania Twain covers at just seven years old.

She later joined a group of travelling musicians, shaping her distinct performance style.

Her debut album Long Time Coming was released in 2022.
