Zayn has announced his most ambitious live run yet, confirming a full world tour for 2026 that will see him headline arenas across the UK, Europe and North America. It marks a major step forward in his solo career and his most extensive tour since leaving One Direction.
The tour supports his forthcoming fifth album, Konnakol, and begins in the UK this spring — giving British fans the first chance to see the new era live before the tour heads overseas.
UK Dates Kick Off the Tour
The tour opens on 12 May in Manchester, before moving through Glasgow, Birmingham and London, where Zayn will headline The O2. These shows will be his largest UK solo performances to date, signalling a clear shift into full-scale arena touring.
UK tour dates:
12 May – Manchester, AO Arena
16 May – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
19 May – Birmingham, Utilita Arena
23 May – London, The O2
Following the UK leg, the tour continues across Europe, Mexico and North America, before wrapping later in the year.
What This Tour Represents
Since launching his solo career, Zayn has been selective about his live performances, making this tour feel like a meaningful milestone rather than just a series of dates. After years of studio projects and smaller appearances, including a recent residency in Las Vegas, this tour marks his first opportunity to present a full production show globally.
His new album, Konnakol, is expected to emphasise more of the global influences and textured production styles that have characterized his recent work, and the tour aims to showcase that evolution live.
For fans, this isn’t just a nostalgic comeback. It’s a confident step forward, and the first real opportunity to see his new era come to life on stage.
