Shania Twain Extends ‘Now’ Tour
“Life’s About To Get Good” for U.K. Shania Twain fans because the country pop singer just announced a new leg of gigs overseas for her “Now Tour 2018.”
The dates are in support of Now, her first new studio album in 15 years. The LP is due out Sept. 29 and includes the single “Life’s About to Get Good.”

Shania Twain performs during opening night festivities of the U.S. Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in NYC Aug. 28, 2017.
The song, “which Twain debuted live at Stagecoach 2017, is a bouncy, optimistic number about moving from troubled times into better days. Yoking a steady four-on-the-floor beat to energetic handclaps and thumping piano, the tune has a touch of Jeff Lynne’s hyper-melodic work with Electric Light Orchestra in its DNA, from the stacked harmonies to the bright combination of chords,” Jon Freeman writes for Rolling Stone.
The “Now Tour” is Twain’s first trek since 2015, kicking off May 3 at Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wash. Previously announced North American dates are booked through early August.
The new U.K. leg begins Sept. 21 at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Stops include Manchester Arena, Arena Birmingham, The SSE Arena Belfast and The O2 London. Twain has also booked one night in Dublin, Ireland, at 3Arena on Sept. 26.
Fans who pre-order any Now bundle from Twain’s official webstore will get access to the ticket presale that starts Sept. 27 at 9 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the general public Sept. 29.
Twain has been making the rounds on TV lately, including an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of “Broad City.” She also performed a duet with Mandy Harvey of “You’re Still The One” on the finale of “America’s Got Talent.”
