Man, it almost feels like summer. Okay, maybe sunny evenings and BBQs are still a way off, but festival lineups are starting to be unveiled – and if that’s not a sign of brighter days, we don’t know what is.
This year, one headline act has got us particularly pumped for festival season. Fresh off the back of announcing her headline slot at London’s BST Hyde Park, legendary diva Shania Twain has only gone and revealed that she’ll be doing a whole tour of UK festivals this summer.
Among those shows, Twain will be headlining Chepstow Summer Sessions, which will be the first time that the country pop star has ever played in Wales. And you can bet that she’ll be belting out all the classics — ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman’, ‘That Don't Impress Me Much’ and ‘You're Still The One’, to name just a few.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Queen of Country Pop’s British shows this summer.
When is Shania Twain going on tour in the UK?
The Canadian icon will be headlining a string of UK festivals in June and July 2024.
What are the confirmed dates?

When do Shania tickets go on sale?
General tickets for Hyde Park or Stirling City Park will go on sale on Wednesday, February 14 at 10am. You can get yours here.
Is there a presale?
There is, but exactly when depends on which date you’re going for. Presale for Belfast's Belsonic fest is happening now until 8am on Thursday, February 15, while BST Hyde Park’s presale is also currently live.
You can get early access to the Chepstow Summer Sessions and Lytham Festival dates from 9am on Wednesday, February 14. Presale for Stirling will only be open an hour before general sale goes live at 10am on the same day.
How much will tickets cost?
Again, that depends on where you choose to go and whether you’ll settle for standard or go VIP. If we go by previous years, you can expect the Chepstow and Stirling Summer Sessions to start from around £63, while Belsonic tickets usually start at around £42.
What’s been said about the tour so far?
Peter Taylor is co-founder of Cuffe and Taylor, the company behind Chepstow Summer Sessions. He said: ‘We are beyond excited to have both the incredible Shania Twain, the undisputed ‘Queen of Country Pop’, perform at Chepstow Summer Sessions this July.’
