Carrie Underwood announces first UK concert

Carrie Underwood has announced plans to play her first ever headline concert in the UK.

The country star will perform at London’s Royal Albert Hall on June 21 in support of her forthcoming album Blown Away.

Speaking about the show, Underwood said: “I’m starting at the top! I’ve been to the UK for pleasure before, but I’ve never been there as a singer.

“I’m curious as to how I will be received and if people will actually show up! I so hope they do.”

She added: “I’m excited to get to play in such a big venue and I’m going to bring a little bit of home with me.

“It will be an awesome show, of course! There will be a lot of the new stuff along with some of my hits. Me and my band do a really good job of bringing the music first and I love to sing more than anything in the world.”

Tickets for the show go on sale from 9am on April 27 and are priced between £22.50 and £45.

Underwood’s new single ‘Good Girl’ will be released in the UK on May 7, while album Blown Away will follow on June 18.
