I won\u2019t say what the songs I don\u2019t want to play are, or they\u2019ll definitely be chosen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBut I really like the idea now I\u2019ve got my head around it.

The energy is different and I am excited to share that with you all again. Business stuff says this tour doesn\u2019t make sense but that\u2019s not what it\u2019s about \u2013 it\u2019s for fun and the sheer love of our fans and what they have helped us achieve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I can\u2019t think of a better way to end this amazing year than with the people who made it happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, September 4, at 10am on TicketMaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/entertainment\/celebrity\/callum-beattie-announces-surprise-scottish-37617986\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Edinburgh singer is returning to some of Scotland&#8217;s most intimate venues Callum Beattie will play 11 shows across Scotland from November to December this year(Image: Ian MacNicol\/Getty Images) Callum Beattie is ending the biggest year of his career with a surprise tour of intimate venues across Scotland &#8211; including two shows where fans will [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailyrecord.co.uk\/article37618289.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200d\/0_GettyImages-2287384214.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[145,15746,15743,3384,15747,4326,15744,66,2427,3115,3766,1686,55,15745,4656],"class_list":["post-13124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity","tag-announces","tag-beattie","tag-belladrum-festival","tag-callum","tag-delight","tag-edinburgh","tag-edinburgh-castle","tag-fans","tag-glasgow","tag-massive","tag-scottish","tag-surprise","tag-tour","tag-troon","tag-twist"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehotedit.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
