The Little Mix hype machine is fired up at full steam. The girl group announced a U.K. and Ireland tour last week, just premiered its new single on TV yesterday and now has announced it will open for pop princess Ariana Grande on her upcoming “Dangerous Woman” tour.

The girls are going to be busy. The Dangerous Woman tour runs from Feb. 2 in Phoenix to April 15 in Orlando. Those two months in between are full of arenas in all major markets. Regional highlights include a four-show stint in California in late March and three nights in Texas in April.

Little Mix dropped Get Weird last year and just wrapped a tour for that project in the summer. The group rose to prominence as the winners of Britain’s “X-Factor” TV show. Check out the premiere of the new song “Shout Out To My Ex” on that show last night.

The band is set to release its upcoming album, Glory Days, next month, expected Nov. 18 on iTunes. The members are still Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.
