Ex-Westlife heart-throb Brian McFadden has included a Norwich date as part of his first solo UK tour.

The star will appear at the University of East Anglia on Friday June 17, with tickets going on sale on Monday, February 7.

McFadden is also performing at Ipswich Regent Theatre on Wednesday June 15.

For the 24-date tour, he appears with his band and will be performing material from his debut solo album, Irish Son, as well as some familiar favourites.

McFadden, who has been in the news recently because of a high-profile split with his wife Kerry, said: “I can't wait to tour with this album. I am really looking forward to heading out on the road to visit some places I haven't been for ages and some I've never been to at all.

“I love the energy of performing with my band and the way it brings my new songs to life.”

His new single, Almost Here, is out now.
