Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell has announced a short UK tour for this June.

The singer, who released his third solo album 'Scream' in 2009 and an acoustic live album 'Songbook' last year, will play three shows across the UK this summer.

The dates begin at London Palladium on June 18, with Cornell then moving on to Birmingham's Symphony Hall on June 19. He will round things off at Newcastle's City Hall on June 20.

The shows will follow Soundgarden's European tour, which include a slot at this summer's Download festival.

The reunited grunge band are currently working on their first album since 1996's 'Down On The Upside'. It is expected to emerge later this year.

Chris Cornell will play:

London Palladium (June 18)
Birmingham Symphony Hall (19)
Newcastle City Hall (20)

Tickets go onsale on Friday (January 24) at 9am (GMT). To check the availability of Chris Cornell tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/TICKETS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

Lol, I didn't notice that, I was too excited! Think I'm gonna have to fake a dentist's appointment or something so I can go home and book them!

Yeah to my knowledge it is.

Woop! I shall be trying for London too.

So chances of Mr Cornell gracing us with his presence at Manchester 2???

[redrock]

Me too... 4th/5th row back dead center would be good (closer you'll be seeing up his nose!)

Arghh!!!

I WISH it was the 17th in London instead of the 18th! I have an empty night there, and that would have been amazing!!!

Anyone know the likelihood of another show being added? How well do his shows normally sell?

Same here!! I would have been bouncing about the place had it been the 17th instead!

Oh well, can't see everyone... It's just annoying that I'm never down to London, and they happen to be playing the same night!! Fingers crossed for a Night 2 (or rather a Night 1!)

I'm assuming this is unlikely though...

[Suziemay]

Wow jealous!!! Now if he can 'happen' to be in Prague on July 1 that would be kinda perfect

[Brisk.]

Yeah blow my mind!!
