Calvin Harris teases new music coming this summer ahead of Scottish comeback gig

Calvin Harris has announced he is releasing new music later this year.

The Dumfries born DJ revealed the follow up to his last album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1, is set to be released later this summer.

Calvin - whose real name is Adam Richard Wiles - is making his Scottish comeback later this summer to a sold-out gig at Hampden stadium in Glasgow before performing a residency in Ibiza.

His upcoming Glasgow gig will be the Scots DJ's first show since headlining T in The Park in 2016.

The Bounce DJ has been posting hints to the album release over his social media channels, sharing a photo of a billboard with Funk Wav Bounces Vol.2 written on it, beside "Summer 22".

This will be his first album in five years, and will be hard to top after his last album featured collaborations from Migos, Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean.

However, the producer may see his album plans delayed further as he is set to attend court in France.

Calvin is set to face a £830k court case after being accused of stealing his hit song from another artist.

French musician Mickael Zieben, 39, claims the legendary Scottish DJ copied his massive dance smash Slide from him after as he takes his case to the courts.

Mickael, from Paris, claimed his fight wasn’t about the money as he had previously attempted to sort things out with the Dumfries-born DJ but his attempts have been ignored.

Slide saw the DJ collaborate with Frank Ocean and hip-hop trio Migos, as well as being the lead single of Calvin's fifth studio album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1, which was released in February 2017.

Mickael told The Sun: “We’ve tried to settle this many times but we’ve been denied.

“If he had been humble from the start and reached out to me this could all have been avoided.

“All he had to do was get in touch and tell me he liked my song. We could have teamed up. That doesn’t seem too difficult.

“It’s going to cost me a lot of money but truth and justice are priceless. I have to fight for my rights.”

Mickael added to the publication: “I was angry and frustrated when I heard it for the first time.

“Someone was trying to make it look like it was all their own work.

“It’s good to know my music is recognised and appreciated by someone as famous as Calvin Harris.

“I was going to try and monetise the song but that couldn’t happen after it was taken by someone else. It was wasted. After 20 years in the music industry I wasn’t happy.”
