Labrinth announces first UK headline tour

Labrinth has announced plans to embark on his first headline tour of the UK.

The singer will play 11 dates across the country in support of his debut album, which is slated for a 2012 release.

Labrinth will start his debut tour in Birmingham on February 23 and finish up at Brighton's Concorde on March 8.

The 22-year-old will play a range of new material, as well as his two top three hits 'Let The Sun Shine' and 'Earthquake'.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale from 9am on November 4 and will be priced between £13 and £15.
