Shania Twain has announced an intimate London show that mirrors the bar stages she performed on as a child.

Long before she became one of the world’s best‑selling artists, the Canadian star was singing late at night in Timmins, Ontario, from the age of eight - a formative period she revisits on her upcoming album Little Miss Twain.

The new record draws heavily on those early memories, with Twain exploring the musical roots of Eilleen Twain before global fame took hold.

To mark the release, she will perform for one night only at The Shacklewell Arms in East London on June 6, her first bar‑stage appearance in may years.

Fans can enter a ballot for the £25 tickets, with the first wave opening Friday (29.05.26). A second chance will follow via Shania's social channels at 1pm BST for those who miss out.

The show is designed as a full‑circle moment, tracing her journey from a shy child performer to a chart‑topping powerhouse whose influence has been cited by Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter and Harry Styles.

The London date lands just days before Twain joins Harry for his sold‑out 12‑night run at Wembley Stadium - the biggest shows of her career - followed by a headline appearance at Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick.

The five‑time GRAMMY winner describes Little Miss Twain as her most soul‑searching work to date.

The collection pulls together the sounds that shaped her: country storytelling, pop sparkle, rock grit, soul warmth and even a streak of bluegrass.

She explained: “A lot of Little Miss Twain is reflective of my teens, my roots as well as the energy of the rock and R'n'B I loved so much, but still with that Western twang.

“Where I’m from you don’t go anywhere on a horse - you go on a snowmobile. I was dreaming about the Western lifestyle and I was living in a very different world than where I ended up.”

Little Miss Twain is out July 24.
