Zayn Malik has confirmed an exciting addition to his upcoming 2026 UK arena tour, with the Bradford-born singer announcing a Birmingham stop at the Utilita Arena this May. The concert announcement comes alongside confirmation of his fifth studio album, Konnakol, which is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.
