Zayn Announces Major UK Arena Tour for 2026 KONNAKOL Album
Global music sensation Zayn has officially confirmed his highly anticipated return to the United Kingdom with a major arena tour scheduled for 2026. The announcement comes alongside the revelation of his forthcoming fifth solo album, titled KONNAKOL, which is set for release on April 17th.
First Solo UK Arena Tour
This marks Zayn's first-ever solo headline arena tour in the UK, representing a significant milestone in his post-One Direction career. The tour is specifically designed to support the launch of his new album, following the recent release of its lead single, 'Die for Me'.
The British singer's last UK tour occurred in 2024 in support of his fourth album, Room Under The Stairs, making this upcoming tour his first major UK concert series in two years.
Tour Dates and Venues
The KONNAKOL Tour will commence in Manchester on Tuesday, May 12th, 2026, at the AO Arena. The tour will then progress through several major UK cities, including:
- Saturday, May 16th - OVO Hydro, Glasgow
- Tuesday, May 19th - Utilita Arena, Birmingham
- Saturday, May 23rd - The O2, London
This four-city arena tour represents Zayn's most substantial UK concert commitment since embarking on his solo career.
Ticket Information and Presale Details
General ticket sales for The KONNAKOL Tour will commence on Friday, February 13th, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Fans eager to secure early access should note that a dedicated presale period will begin earlier that week.
Presale tickets will become available on Tuesday, February 10th, 2026, at 12:00 PM. To participate in the presale, fans are encouraged to register through official channels, though specific registration details should be verified through Zayn's official platforms.
Recent Performances and New Material
The tour announcement follows Zayn's successful seven-night residency in Las Vegas, titled Stairway to the Sky. During these intimate Vegas performances, the artist treated audiences to previews of unreleased tracks from the upcoming album, including 'Fatal' and 'Take Turns', alongside the already-released lead single 'Die for Me'.
These preview performances suggest that UK audiences can expect to hear both new material from KONNAKOL and fan favourites from Zayn's previous solo work during the 2026 tour.
The combination of new album excitement and Zayn's first UK arena tour in two years is expected to generate significant demand for tickets when sales open in February 2026.
