Rock 'n' roll titans Whitesnake and Foreigner are joining forces for a UK tour next year.
The bands will play six arena shows on the tour, which finishes at Manchester Arena on June 8.
They'll also play London's O2 Arena (May 31), Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena (June 1), Arena Birmingham (June 3), Glasgow SSE Hydro (June 4) and Newcastle Utilita Arena (June 6).
Fans can look forward to an arsenal of hits spanning four decades from the two groups.
Founded in 1978 by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, Whitesnake's hits include Here I Go Again On My Own, Still of the Night and Is This Love?
The band will be performing classics like these from their expansive back catalogue as well as songs from their 13th studio album Flesh & Blood, released earlier this year.
Foreigner are also responsible for some of rock 'n' roll's most enduring anthems including Cold As Ice and I Want to Know What Love Is.
They'll be joined by special guests Europe on the tour.
Mick Jones from Foreigner said “We can’t wait to kick off the summer in the UK with a massive tour alongside our friends Whitesnake and Europe. We’re looking forward to playing all our biggest hits for our fans, and rocking across the country."
