The singer is set to play 31 dates on his ‘Konnakol’ world tour, taking in arenas and stadiums across the UK, North America and South America. The announcement comes a day after he shared the news of his upcoming LP, also called ‘Konnakol’ while the lead single, ‘Die For Me’, comes out tomorrow (February 6).
Malik will begin the tour in his native UK with a show at Manchester’s AO Arena on May 12, before heading to Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
In June, he’ll head to Mexico for three shows before a run of shows in the US across July, August and September. October will see him play in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Peru, before he returns to the US in November to round off the tour.

Malik’s tour news comes after the former One Direction singer wrapped up his Las Vegas residency. While at Dolby Live at Park MGM, Las Vegas, he debuted and teased unreleased material from ‘Konnakol’.

Along with ‘Die For Me’, he debuted four other unheard songs in the form of ‘Nusrat’, ‘Used To The Blues’, ‘Fatal’ and ‘Take Turns’ at the gigs. Throughout the residency, fans could also take part in a ‘Z5’ listening booth experience where they could hear snippets of his new material.

Malik also joked about ticket prices, making a remark some fans interpreted as a lighthearted nod to discussions around the cost of his old bandmate Harry Styles’ upcoming Wembley Stadium shows. “Hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high – just saying!” he joked while thanking fans for coming to see him.
Since leaving the group in 2015, Malik has rarely performed live. His most recent solo tour, the ‘Stairway To The Sky’ tour for his 2024 album ‘Room Under The Stairs’, was his first-ever solo tour.

Speaking about ‘Konnokol’, Malik said: “It’s that time again, I have been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album…‘Konnakol’ in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one’s voice but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper.
“It is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed. I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music – this album is a development of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go.”
The album, the artist’s fifth, will be released on April 17 via Mercury Records/Island Records UK and can be pre-ordered here.
