The Call My Name singer will play nine dates across the UK as part of the A Million Lights tour, starting off in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on October 3 and finishing in her hometown of Newcastle on October 17.

Although it will be Cheryl's first headline arena tour, she is no stranger to the live circuit.
She has performed on several tours with her Girls Aloud bandmates and she opened as special guest on the Black Eyed Peas European tour in 2010.
Gorgeous! Here's hoping Cheryl's fans will enjoy her tour, the singer has been promoting her new album this week
A spokeswoman for Cheryl ensured the MailOnline that the singer would sing every track live.
Previously Cheryl has said: 'If you think my live vocal sounds so good it must be mimed, I'm happy, I take it as a compliment.'
She added Cheryl's single, Call My Name, which shot to number one when released on iTunes this week, is outselling the whole of the top five combined.
Cheryl has been working in LA on her new album A Million Lights for the past year.
