Five-time Grammy award-winner Shania Twain will kick off 2023 in a major way with a brand new album, Queen of Me, on Feb. 3, and a massive global tour.

The new album will be Twain’s sixth full-length project–her first since 2017–and marks her official debut with her new label partner Republic Nashville. She’s heralding in the anticipated album with a brand new song, “Last Day of Summer.”

To celebrate this next career era in style, she’ll also embark on a global 49-date “Queen of Me Tour,” her first tour in nearly five years, following her Vegas residency run. Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Breland, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block and Mickey Guyton will join Twain on select dates throughout the tour.

The new tour kicks off on April 28 at Spokane Arena in Washington and makes stops across North America and Europe, including Vancouver, Denver, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, London, Dublin and more before wrapping up on Sept. 26 at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, UK.

Twain will also make a stop in Nashville on June 7 as the inaugural concert at Music City’s new GEODIS Park. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, Nov. 4 at LiveNation.com.
