Grennan first appeared on the music scene in 2016 as guest vocalist on the Chase & Status track All Goes Wrong, before releasing his debut album Lighting Matches in 2018.

Since then, he has produced fan favourites including Little Bit of Love, Found What I've Been Looking For and Let's Go Home Together (with Ella Henderson), and notched up more than 1.5 million album sales and 2.5 billion streams.

The concerts are part of a partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe & Taylor to bring artists to perform in a historic location.

Councillor Natalie Oliver, executive member for culture at Lincolnshire County Council, said: "Attracting chart-topping superstars like Tom really puts Lincoln on the live music map.

"Not only that, but the concerts are also a massive boost to the city's economy, with gig-goers packing out bars and restaurants and extending their stay to soak up all the amazing experiences our great county has to offer.

"With four acts announced, next year's line-up is already shaping up to be the best on record - and we're just getting started."

Tickets will go on general sale at 10:00 GMT on 31 October from the Lincoln Castle and Ticketmaster websites.
