It'll also coincide with the release of his album, Based On A True Story, which is due for release on 28 March.

It features lead single "Beautiful Scars" and features longtime collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff as well as Teyana Taylor, Big Sean and his son Jaden.

The LP marks his first in 20 years following 2005's Lost and Found, which features hit single "Switch".

Fans can also expect to hear some of classic hits including "Gettin' Jiggy wit It", "Miami", "Wild Wild West" and "Just the Two of Us".

He also joined singer J Balvin during his set at Coachella in 2024 to perform "Men in Black", the soundtrack to the film of the same name.

It follows up the announcement of a string of festival shows this summer including Ypsilon and Bergenfest in Norway and Gurtenfestival in Germany.
