Shania Twain announces outdoor UK and Ireland shows in 2024

Country-pop sensation at American Express presents BST Hyde Park and will hit venues in Belfast, Stirling, Lancashire and more in Summer 2014!


Tickets for Shania Twain at American Express presents BST Hyde Park for her BST debut on Sunday 7 July are on sale!
Shania will be joined by multi-million selling sibling quartet The Corrs, and more TBA.
The Grammy winner will be joined by special guests The Corrs (Ireland’s first family of music, a multi-million selling sibling quartet who have conquered the world with a seamless blend of sleek pop rock, lush harmonies and Celtic folk trimmings).
Shania, 58, said: “I’ve seen so many of my own musical heroes headlining at Hyde Park and have wonderful summer memories there. It is a real privilege to headline my own show this year."
 
Shania tweeted: “My dream is to have a little - I just want to neighbor the stables at Hyde Park, I just wanna be a neighbor, I don't care. Yeah! I wanna live right by the stables so I can go to the stables every day and ride in the park”.
 
Back on July 12, 2003 Shania played her only UK gig of that year at London's Hyde Park and was a “virtual sell-out”. Bjorn Again & The Mavericks opened see setlists.
 
Shania Twain has additionally announced an outdoor tour of the UK and Ireland in the lead-up to her headline set at this year’s BST Hyde Park show.
Tickets for her Ireland shows go on sale at 9am on Thursday 15 February, while her three UK shows go on sale at 9am on Friday 16 February.

About Shania Twain
Global Superstar, Celebrated Songwriter and Style Icon Shania Twain is a five-time GRAMMY winner and one of music and fashion’s most renowned trailblazers.
With six albums released and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Twain remains the top-selling female country pop artist of all time. Her hits include “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”. Shania was the first artist in history to release 3 consecutive diamond certified albums. Twain’s first album in 15 years, NOW, was released in September 2017 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums, making it the first female country release in over 3 years to top the all-genre chart.
The release was followed by a year-long sold-out NOW World Tour.
In 2021, Shania kicked off her second residency in Las Vegas called “Let’s Go!” which completely sold out and continued through September 2022.
 
The country pop superstar has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity since the release of her 2023 album, QUEEN OF ME, which launched amidst a wave of nostalgia towards her sassy 90s persona.
Queen of the charts: Long dubbed The Queen Of Country Pop, Twain was the royal ruler of the UK album chart for the third time in her career when QUEEN OF ME took the No.1 crown.
Twain’s sixth studio album, which arrived almost exactly 30 years after her eponymous debut, and 25 years after her first chart success, COME ON OVER, hit No.1 on consumption of 17,976 units (12,022 CDs, 2,933 vinyl albums, 896 cassettes, 1,379 digital downloads and 746 sales-equivalent streams).
On the Billboard 200 Shania captured her sixth top 10-charting album when QUEEN OF ME, debuted at No. 10 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned.  Of that sum, album sales comprised 34,000; SEA units comprised 3,500 (equalling 4.92 million official on-demand streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprised 500. Twain previously visited the top 10 with Now (No. 1 in 2017), Greatest Hits (No. 2; 2004), Up! (No. 1, 2002), Come On Over (No. 2, 1997) and The Woman In Me (No. 5, 1996).

Her first album for Republic, its success came months after the release of her career-spanning Netflix documentary NOT JUST A GIRL, which spawned a Highlights album that reached No.48 last September.
All its songs co-written by Twain, Queen Of Me was the follow-up to her comeback album, NOW, which opened atop the chart in 2017 on consumption of 20,097 units. Now was Twain’s first album in 15 years, partly because Lyme Disease weakened her vocal chords, making it difficult for her to sing.
 
In late June 2023 Shania made a guest appearance on the Anne-Marie single ‘UNHEALTHY’, a hyper-camp pop caper with more giddy-up energy than a night on the sauce with John Wayne. Watch the video HERE.
 
In August 2023 Shania announced the release of multiple expanded U.S. and International Diamond Editions of her all-time classic third studio album, November 1997’s COME ON OVER, which dropped on August 25, 2023 via Mercury/UMe. In celebration of the benchmark album’s 25th anniversary and its accumulation of over 40 million-plus in global album sales, both the U.S. and International versions of Come On Over were remastered from the original tapes for the first time ever. Come On Over was released in the following formats: 3CD Super Deluxe, 3LP Super Deluxe, 3LP International Super Deluxe, 2LP Deluxe, 2CD Deluxe, and Digital. 2LP Deluxe Retail Exclusive.
 
In July 2023 she wrapped up the sold-out first leg of her global Queen of Me tour. The second leg picked up in September in the U.K. with Breland re-joining as support. She then made her return back to North America in October 2023.

One of music’s most renowned trailblazers and the top-selling female country artist of all-time, is returning to the Las Vegas Strip with Shania Twain: COME ON OVER – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits! opening at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Friday, May 10, 2024. 

About her return to Vegas, Shania states, “I am excited to be returning to Vegas for my third residency COME ON OVER, performing in Vegas is a huge honor and I love this theatre. The audience can expect ALL THE HITS with a few fan favorites from the new album in there too. I am in a celebratory mood and there is nowhere better to party than VEGAS so I hope you all join me!

The 24 performances on sale are:
May 2024: 10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 23, 25, 26 | Aug. 2024: 23, 24, 29, 31 | Sept. 2024: 1, 4, 6, 7 | Nov. 2024: 29, 30 | Dec. 2024: 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14

Back in January 2016 in the words of Nashville Nights UK co-founder and Events Director Janine Lambert:
It’s the hottest place to dance the night away to your favourite new country hits straight from the Country Billboard Chart in the USA! We love country music, it's that simple..We love dancing to country music, singing along to country music, having a drink and socialising to country music and there was nowhere we could go to do this, no bar or nightclub anywhere that just played the best in NEW Country music from the USA Country music charts, the music we wanted to hear.... We'd been to Nashville, we enjoyed the honkeytonks, the atmosphere, the country music blasting out from every bar and club on Broadway...we wanted to bring the spirit of Nashville back to the UK.


















The organizers of Nashville Nights, who run club nights designed for fans of country music, announced that they would take their unique brand of party across the UK right through 2016. Most of the events have been at Under The Bridge in London, with DJ Baylen Leonard (BBC Radio 2, Amazing Radio) providing the soundtrack. Many of the artists on the playlist are familiar to those who have attended London’s Country to Country (C2C) festivals.  

Fans are also encouraged to request their favourite songs via social media, using the hashtag #NashNightsUK.

EVENT REVIEW: Nashville Nights Lift Off in London
Brits In Boots Blog (By CJ Richardson @CheryTwee) 
























But as we arrived, and I took off my leather jacket (which is burgundy and matches the detail on my newest cowboy boots if anyone’s looking closely enough) something happened. After years of going through the motions of sipping and shimmying at one friend or another’s birthday bash at one interchangeable nightspot or another, I finally knew what it felt like to walk into a club and think;
“Oh my God, this is my song, I’ve been listening to the radio all night long, Sittin’ ’round waitin’ for it to come on, And here it is…”*.....We, the kindred spirits, had found each other, in a basement club in Chelsea’s football ground of all places. The blurb had said cowboy boots were NOT a must, but we’d obviously all missed that part…..  My personal highlight was the trepidation on the males’ faces as a sea of women (who probably made up at least 70% of the crowd) roared along to Before He Cheats with the vigour usually reserved for our bedrooms with hairbrush microphones in hand....Read More Brits In Boots
Baylen + Chris Stapleton rockin it #nashnightsuk
NashvilleNightsUK posted: A fantastic night tonight thank you so much to everyone who came out, we had a blast & hope you did too! Until next time...

Baylen Leonard tweeted: Thanks #NashNightsUK ! You were amazing!

The crowd were told a 'secret act' would be performing during the evening, and after a few hours of DJ Baylen Leonard playing a great mix of classics and chart hits, UK country duo Holloway Road took to the stage at 11:30pm for their second gig of the night, having just driven across town from a support slot for Jess & The Bandits. With a stripped-back five-piece setup led by acoustic guitar, the band opened with 'Truck' and played a half-hour set including songs from both their EPs and a cover of 'Ring of Fire'. The audience response was fantastic, with fans taking to Twitter & Instagram to post pictures and videos of the impromptu performance. As the lively set drew to a close, the rest of the band walked off leaving just Jack & Rob onstage, who went on to announce that the song they were finishing the set with would also be their next single - 'Good Thing Gone Bad'.

Live Act: Gary Quinn






















Review: I listen to Chris Radio all the time and it's great but Nashville nights at Birmingham was poor , the music he played was ok but never really played any songs from the country charts , he played 1 Miranda lambert song , not one Keith urban , no Thomas Rhett , no brandy Clarke , no Kacey Musgraves , no Chris Stapleton , I wouldn't mind but they had a song request list which he took no notice of and when we asked him why he just said I have played some on the list and walked away - Country music is so diverse but it seemed as though he was just set on playing bro country. The crowd got more excited over Shania Twain and Dolly Parton than any other song as everything else blended into a hard rock bro country blur.

Saturday 10th December 2016 - BRIGHTON, Latest Music Bar (14 - 17 Manchester Street, BN2 1TF)
In an intimate venue and set over two floors they brought the hottest country music party + Country Music Karaoke! (Carrie-oke?!?)

"6 years on, here we are with a room full of people from far and wide, singing ‘Chicken Fried’ at the top of their lungs at a 5-hour-long country disco. Who would have thought it?..The brilliant Laura Oakes kicked off the evening with her amazing band, treating us to a selection of tracks from her 2015 EP, as well as some new ones from her upcoming EP".. Once the High Valley attendees had arrived at 11pm, it was absolutely packed and the atmosphere was incredible…Read More Review Your Life In A Song

Friday 31st March 2017 – LONDON, Under The Bridge, Chelsea (Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, London SW6 1HS)
Live Act: Kaity Rae
Doors Open: 8pm | Live Act: 9pm (Subject to change) | DJ: 10pm - 2am £12






















London-based musician Kaity Rae kicked off proceedings with her wonderful brand of infectious, easy-on-the-ear pop-country. She graced the stage with great confidence and gave a very accomplished performance for the Nash Nights audience who are notoriously difficult to engage. A couple of songs into her set, you could see the dance floor filling up with people really appreciating her talent and catchy melodies…. Soon after, the Nashville Nights DJ cranked up the volume for 4 hours of fan requests, country anthems and even some brand-new tracks, hot off the press! …The interactive board always proves popular; people sending in their selfies to #nashnightsuk just to get their face on the screen never gets tiresome…it’s the little things! It turns the place into selfie capital. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who had plenty of, let’s say, ‘forgettable’ footage to delete from my phone on Saturday morning. What happens at Nashville Nights stays at Nashville Nights!! It was great to see so many familiar faces there, including Dawson Reigns and his band who had just arrived from their London gig. When you have Luke Thomas, Jack Cooper, Rob Gulston and a bar in the same place, prepare for carnage….Read More Review Your Life In A Song
