ZAYN is officially stepping back into the spotlight with a huge world tour.

The multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter and producer has announced his biggest solo run yet, The KONNAKOL Tour, marking his first time headlining arenas and stadiums across North America, South America, Mexico, and the UK.

Produced by Live Nation, the massive 31-date trek kicks off on 12 May 2026 in Manchester at AO Arena before travelling through major cities including London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo. The tour will wrap on 20 November in Miami at the Kaseya Centre, closing out what is shaping up to be a landmark year for the singer. The announcement follows the buzz of his first Las Vegas residency, where fans got early glimpses of unreleased material from KONNAKOL and critics took notice.

Adding to the excitement, ZAYN recently confirmed that his fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, arrives 17 April 2026 and is already available for pre-order. Described as his most culturally inspired project yet, the pop-driven record builds on the sonic foundation he introduced with his record-breaking debut Mind of Mine.

The lead single, Die For Me, drops on 6 February, giving fans their first official taste of the new era.

This next chapter builds on an already busy streak. ZAYN’s 2024 album Room Under the Stairs earned critical praise and was followed by his first solo tour across the U.S., UK, and Mexico. He also joined BLACKPINK’s Jisoo on Eyes Closed, a collaboration that scored a 2026 iHeartRadio Music Award nomination and charted globally, debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and topping charts in over 40 countries.

Since launching his solo career, ZAYN has made a lasting impact with his distinctive blend of pop and R&B and unmistakable vocals. His debut Mind of Mine set records as he became the first UK male solo artist to debut at No. 1 on both the UK and US album charts in the same week, powered by the global hit “PILLOWTALK.”

With a new album on the way and his most ambitious tour to date ahead, ZAYN’s next era is shaping up to be one fans will not want to miss.

Tickets for The KONNAKOL Tour will first be available through the ZAYN VIP KEY Presale on 10 February at 12 pm local time. Existing VIP KEY holders will automatically receive access codes through the app, while new fans can sign up through February 8 to secure pre-sale entry. Additional presales will follow throughout the week before the general onsale begins 13 February, with Brazil’s general tickets launching 11 February.
