BRIAN McFadden will be performing in Hampshire as part of his first solo UK tour.

The former Westlife singer will be entertaining fans at Portsmouth Guildhall on May 31.

The 24-date tour is Brian's first since he left boy band Westlife last year to concentrate on his solo career.

The Irish singer will perform tracks from his debut album, Irish Son, as well as some familiar favourites.

"I am really looking forward to heading out on the road to visit some places I haven't been to for ages and some I've never been to at all," said Brian.

"I love the performing with my band and bringing my new songs to life."

The Irish hunk's most recent live performance was for the tsunami charity concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, where he played an acoustic set.

His new single, Almost Here, featuring his rumoured new girlfriend Delta Goodrem, is out now.

The pair have reportedly been dating for some time, following Brian's split from wife Kerry Katona.

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Monday, February 7 at 9am and cost £21.50. Box office: 0870 735 5000.
