The 'Side To Side' pop beauty's energetic entertainment show will hit Birmingham, Dublin and Manchester, before wrapping up the UK leg at London's The O2 on May 25 and taking it to Europe.

Announcing the tour news on Twitter, she wrote: "#DangerousWomanTour when are you coming? (sic)"

Opening for the American songstress is 'Shout Out To My Ex' hitmakers Little Mix and R&B star Victoria Monet.

Ariana will no doubt perform some of her biggest hits including 'Into You' and 'Problem' and tracks from her latest LP 'Dangerous Woman'.

The tour is set to be her best as she previously described her new album as something she had "put blood, sweat and tears into" and she also admitted she went through "a lot of emotions", while making the record.

Previously asked if she has ever cried whilst making an album, she said: "I'm sure I did. I poured everything I have into it so there were lots of emotions throughout the process. I am so proud of this album. I love every song and can't wait for my fans to hear it all."

And that's not the only tears Ariana has cried, as the star was left "crying for hours" after having to axe her performance at Lisbon's Rock in Rio festival in May on medical advice when she developed a throat and sinus infection.

At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "I'm deeply saddened to tell my babes in Portugal that I have to cancel my performance at Rock in Rio (I've literally been crying over this for an hour.) I have a throat & sinus infection & my doctors have advised me not to sing for a few days.

"I promise to make it up to you and give you the best show I'm capable of when I return. Again, I'm so sorry to the babes who were coming to see me. I love you with all my heart. (sic)"
