Justin Timberlake has revealed that his 20/20 Experience World Tour will come to the UK in spring 2014.

The UK dates will follow shows in Canada and North America.

The Suit and Tie singer's first solo tour for six years starts on 31 October in Montreal, Canada.

Timberlake, 32, told fans the news while taking part in a Twitter question and answer session during Capital FM's Summertime Ball this weekend.

Live Nation are yet to announce the dates and venues of the UK leg of the singer's tour.

The North American part of the tour finishes in February in Omaha, Nebraska.

Timberlake's announcement comes just a month after he unveiled plans to release a follow up album to his number one selling album, 20/20 Experience, in September.

His first record in seven years was his first number one album in the US since 2006, after The 20/20 Experience sold 968,000 copies in its first week.

The 20/20 tour will follow a Legends of Summer stadium tour in America with rapper Jay-Z.

The pair are set to headline this year's Wireless festival in London next month.

Timberlake was also recently announced as part of the iTunes festival line-up.

The former N-Sync star is also starring in a film alongside Ben Affleck, which will be released later this year.

Runner Runner is expected in cinemas in September.
