Harry Styles adds 56 extra dates to next year's world tour

Harry Styles has added 56 more dates to his world tour for 2018.

The British heartthrob is now set to play five UK arena dates, including concerts at Birmingham Genting Arena, Manchester Arena, Glasgow The SSE Hydro and London's O2 Arena.

Styles tour kicks off next year in March in Switzerland and finishing in Los Angeles in July 2018.

Throughout next June and July, the star is set to play arenas in cities such as Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C., Denver and Los Angeles. 

Harry  is "looking forward" to having the band - consisting of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson - accompany him when he travels around to perform dates in North America and Europe later this year. 

The One Direction star took to his Twitter account this week to write:

"@whereisMUNA will be joining me on tour this year in North America and Europe. Looking forward to it."

The band then added a few minutes later: "We're very happy to be joining this fine gentleman on tour this fall. much love, harry. (sic)"

Styles' tour sold out within minutes of going on sale, but he was quick to reassure his fans who did miss out on ticket, that he will be back "next year" with another tour. He said:

"I am overwhelmed, thank you. If I don't get to see you this tour, I'll come back around next year if you'll have me. Love, H. (sic)" 

The eagerly anticipated tour will support the musician’s debut self-titled solo album. The first single off the album, "Sign of the Times," was released this year on April 7.
