ZAYN Is Taking KONNAKOL on the Road

Posted on by

zayn-tourThe singer just announced The KONNAKOL Tour, a 31-date run that will take him across the UK, North America, South America, and Mexico. It’s his largest solo tour to date and the first time he’s headlining arenas and stadiums on this scale.

The tour kicks off May 12 in Manchester and stretches through November, wrapping in Miami. Stops include London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, among others. It follows his recent Las Vegas residency, where he quietly tested out unreleased material from KONNAKOL and reminded people how strong his live presence still is.

The timing isn’t accidental. ZAYN’s fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, arrives April 17, and its lead single, “Die For Me,” drops tomorrow. The project leans into broader cultural influences while circling back to the melodic instincts that defined Mind of Mine. It feels less like a reset and more like a sharpening. This tour also lands after a steady run over the past year. Room Under the Stairs earned strong reviews, and his collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, “Eyes Closed,” performed well globally and picked up a 2026 iHeartRadio Music Award nomination.

Tickets go on sale February 13, with presales starting earlier in the week. See here for more information.
