Joan Jett has announced her first UK club date in 20 years.

The iconic rock singer and her band The Blackhearts will play London's 100 Club on June 14.

Tickets, priced at £20, will go on sale from 10am on May 20.

Meanwhile, Jett & The Blackhearts are due to support Green Day on their European stadium tour this summer, including a date at London's Wembley Stadium on June 19.

Jett, 51, first rose to prominence as a member of all-female rock band The Runaways. Their story has recently been made into a film starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.

She later went on to launch a successful recording career as frontwoman of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, scoring a US number one single in 1982 with 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll'.
