Award-winning music star NE-YO, who has just finished a sold-out tour in the US, will be back on the road next year and heading to Newcastle - with fellow R&B favourite Mario in tow.
The three-time Grammy winner has announced a Champagne and Roses 2024 UK Tour which includes a date at Utilita Arena in the city in the spring. And tickets for it will go on sale this November.
The R&B hitmaker and songwriter - also an actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist - has become a worldwide success since his debut single So Sick hit number one in 2005 and was certified quadruple platinum. Follow-up hits include Sexy Love, Closer, Because of You, Miss Independent and Push Back.

He'll be joining forces with music veteran and Mario who besides also being a R&B heavyweight and award-winning singer-songwriter is an actor too, as well as a dancer and model. The talent, whose hit Let Me Love You made him a household name, will be NE-YO's special guest on the tour.
Mario, whose albums include his self-titled first in 2002, followed by Turning Point; Go; D.N.A. and Dancing Shadows, promises to be the icing on the cake at a show which will have set-list packed with hits. Tickets for the Newcastle date - which will be March 11 - will go on sale at 9am on November 24. See Ticketmaster here or the arena website.
