Kanye West and Jay-Z will play a joint UK tour this summer, it has been revealed this morning (February 21).

The pair will tour their joint album 'Watch The Throne' in early summer, playing dates in May in London, Manchester and Birmingham, reports The Sun.

The pair only released their debut album as 'The Throne' last year, but Jay-Z has previously hinted that the second release from his and West's 'Watch The Throne' project will be released this year.

He said of he and West's future plans: "We – I say 'we' because I'm in Throne mode – we're in a great place creatively. You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a Throne album next year… We've really found our zone."

The duo have both appeared as guests on each other's stage, and now they come together for never-before-seen performances not only from their collaboration, 'Watch The Throne' but also songs from their classic catalogue.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am.
