Zayn Malik announces first headline solo show this year

Zayn Malik will play his first headline solo gig in October.

The singer will play at the new Autism Rocks Arena in Dubai on October 7.

Promoter Thomas Ovesen told Gulf News that the Brit is expected to tour the world following the date.

He said: "This is basically the first announced public show for Zayn.

"Of course there’s an awful lot to come after that, but I think we’ll allow him to announce his plans. We’re just excited that we get to break the news of this first show and the only show in the region with Zayn."

Ovesen added that Malik has already been rehearsing for his headline live shows.

He said: "I haven’t attended the rehearsals. I just know, based on the budget that we are putting aside for the production, that it will be a fantastic show. I myself will probably not get a full idea of the visuals and the set-up until a few months before the show.

"We’ve been talking to his people solidly, I would say, for at least the last six months about when he would be able to do any live shows. It’s been in the making for quite some time."

Malik has already performed on TV and at the recent Wango Tango radio event in Los Angeles.

Tickets for the Dubai show will go on general sale next week.
