Tour Overview: 31 Dates Across Three Continents

Launching his tour back home in the UK, Zayn kicks things off at Manchester’s AO Arena on May 12. From there, he’ll hit Glasgow, Birmingham, and the iconic O2 in London — a must-see for local fans. After wrapping the UK leg, he heads to Mexico for three shows in June before taking over the United States with multiple stops from July through September.

• South America in October
• Final US dates in November

Konnakol: More Than Just a Tour Name

The tour shares its name with Zayn’s upcoming fifth studio album, Konnakol, which drops April 17 via Mercury Records/Island Records UK. If you’re wondering about the title, Konnakol refers to the art of vocal percussion, a rhythmic vocalization that’s deeply rooted in South Indian musical tradition.

“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.”

— Zayn Malik

This album feels like a heartfelt journey into Zayn’s roots and identity, crafted with a new maturity and awareness that longtime fans will appreciate deeply.

A Glimpse Into the New Sounds: Las Vegas Residency

Before this epic tour announcement, Zayn treated fans during his Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Not only did he debut the lead single Die For Me, but he also performed four other new tracks: Nusrat, Used To The Blues, Fatal, and Take Turns. The concerts gave fans a sneak peek into Konnakol's sonic landscape, blending smooth vocals with fresh beats.

There was even a ‘Z5’ listening booth experience at the residency, where fans could listen to snippets of unreleased songs. It was like being in on a secret jam session with Zayn himself — an intimate treat for those lucky enough to attend.

Ticket Info and Playful Banter

Tickets for the Konnakol tour are hot property, with pre-sale starting at 10 AM on February 10. If you want first dibs, signing up early is key. General sales kick off on February 13 at 10 AM.

Zayn’s also shown his playful side on social media, joking about ticket prices amidst fan chatter. He quipped, “hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high… just saying…” — a cheeky nod that fans took as a lighthearted jab at similar conversations around his former One Direction bandmate’s stadium shows.

“zayn’s mad funny for this, he dgaf 😭” — Twitter fan

It’s nice to see Zayn keeping it real and making fans smile even while he plans a massive world tour.

Zayn’s Journey Since One Direction

Since leaving One Direction in 2015, Zayn’s live performances have been rare but impactful. The Stairway To The Sky tour in 2024, supporting his Room Under The Stairs album, was his first-ever solo tour — a significant milestone. Now, with Konnakol and this extensive 2026 tour, he’s stepping into an even bigger spotlight as a solo artist.
