Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot will perform a free show for NHS workers.
The Beautiful South duo, who recently dropped their number one album 'Manchester Calling', will head to the 9,000 capacity Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on October 13.
All NHS frontline staff who are currently combating the coronavirus will be eligible for two free tickets per person when they're released at 7pm on March 31. Ticket holders will need to bring a valid NHS or Primary Care Trust ID card when they attend the show. Heaton said in a statement:
"The coronavirus pandemic should remind everyone, and let no-one forget, that our National Health Service is the most brilliant and significant institution in our lives.
"The men and women who serve us and care for us, give us hope and sacrifice their own wellbeing, can never be thanked enough.
"We are just musicians, so there is little we can do but sing for you. By way of appreciation, we announce the following gig for all frontline NHS staff.
"From the porters, the cleaners and the drivers, to the doctors and the nurses; thank you."
Last week, Heaton and Abbott rescheduled their spring UK and Ireland shows to the autumn after pulling the original dates due to the ongoing pandemic.
