Chart star Shania Twain is to play her first British gig for four years with an outdoor spectacular.

180 Shania Twain in concert

Canadian singer in concert

The singer will be in London's Hyde Park for a one-off concert - her only European date of the year - on Saturday July 12.

Twain has become one of the world's biggest selling acts following the success of her Come On Over album.

Her latest, Up, has sold more than 8m copies globally and spawned hits such as I'm Gonna Getcha Good and Ka-ching.

The Canadian star performed in Hyde Park briefly when she was part of a charity Party in the Park show in 1999.

Tickets go on sale at 8am on Tuesday.
