Renowned as one of the nation’s most prominent rock figures, Calvin Harris drew a massive crowd at Scotland’s T In The Park music festival.
Festival-goers were in for an unexpected treat when Hollywood icon Will Smith made a surprise appearance on stage to introduce the headlining DJ on Saturday evening.
The star of Men In Black wowed the audience as he stepped onto the main stage at Balado in Kinross-shire, setting the scene for Harris’s electrifying performance in front of tens of thousands.

Will, 45, told fans: ‘Ladies and gentleman, I present to you – Scotland’s own, Calvin Harris.’
The 30-year-old – a firm favourite with the crowd – opened by playing Under Control.
Revellers danced in the rain as he played for more than an hour, before Will joined him back on stage for the final song shouting: ‘Scotland, I love you.’
The Men In Black star rocked a blue jean jacket with black leather sleeves over a black T-shirt, and black leather jeans.

The set came after a performance from Paolo Nutini in which he saved his hit Last Request until the end, much to the delight of the audience.
Festival-goers earlier covered up in waterproof ponchos as heavy downpours descended while Pharrell Williams took to the main stage at the event, which has four stages.
The rain cleared up during his 60-minute set, which he closed with hit single Happy.
The Charlatans were welcomed back to the festival 18 years to the day they performed at the very first T In The Park in 1997.
