The artist, whose real name is Rory Graham, said: "Excited to be breaking the New Year in with the Scots at Einburgh's Hogmanay, what a sick even for a debut show."
Event directors Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam said: 'We're delighted to have one of the UK's most exciting new artists headlining Edinburgh's Hogmanay in our first year of producing the event.
"This has been Rag'n'Bone Man's year and so where better to end it than at the mother of all New Year celebrations in Edinburgh."
