Despite saying goodbye to One Direction in 2015 and releasing three studio albums in the years that followed, fans had to wait nearly a decade before Zayn Malik performed his first solo UK show. Two years after that, the star has still never embarked on an arena tour. 

That’s about to change. Yesterday (February 5) Zayn announced that he’s finally heading out on his first ever solo headline arena tour. He’ll be playing shows across the UK, North America and South America in the spring to support the release of his fifth album KONNAKOL

Zayn will stop by four British cities on the KONNAKOL tour. From dates to prices, here’s everything you need to know if you want to be there.
