Kicking off in April, the duo will stop by huge venues including Newcastle's Utilita Arena, London's O2, and Manchester's Co-op Live.
Described as a 'smooth, elevated live experience filled with timeless records and unforgettable moments', fans can expect to hear club classics live such as Closer, Smack That, and Lonely.
But some fans are disappointed by the choice of venues.
"Where's the Cardiff date?" one asked on Instagram.
Another added, "Clearly not every city. Cardiff missed out again!"
"It's not every city though, is it?" a third shared. "Why is Cardiff never on the list?!"
A Welsh date has not yet been confirmed.
