And now the Queen of Country is back on tour, and will visit Leeds this week on her huge tour.

Shania Twain is set to perform at the First Direct Arena in support of new album Queen of Me on Thursday 28 2023 – her sixth full-length album.

The 49-date tour has already see her performing in cities across the UK, hitting up London, Dublin, Glasgow Birmingham and Manchester before coming to Leeds on

Shania, a five-time Grammy Award-winner, has become the best-selling female artist in country music history thanks to hits like That Don’t Impress Me Much, Man I Feel Like A Woman, and I’m Gonna Getcha Good.

Here’s everything you need to know…

Tickets for Shania Twain in Leeds

It’s slim pickings for tickets for Shania Twain’s First Direct Arena gig.

At the time of writing, the gig isn’t completely sold out, but most of the tickets are single seats and on resale.

Tickets are priced from £129 each through Ticketmaster’s resale service here, but go up to £200+ depending on the seat.

Alternative package options for The Mixer and The Gallery are still available here, plus the option to fill a suite (although you’ll need to find 16 people to buy tickets to book the whole suite out).
