Still going strong fifteen years on, Californian hip-hop foursome, Black Eyed Peas, who released their fifth studio, The E.N.D (as in the Energy Never Dies), in June, will come and display plenty of to their fans next spring.

The authors of such hits as Where Is The Love?, My Humps and I Gotta Feeling, will play four dates in May as part of their The E.N.D world tour, including two shows at The London O2 Arena (May 5th & 6th), one show at Birmingham's LG Arena on May 8th and one gig at Manchester News Arena on the 23rd. Each date has an official after-show party, so that the fun can continue until late, the official after-shows for the O2, are (naturally) at the excellent IndigO2, the O2 Academy for Birmingham and Pure for Manchester, costing £22.25, £20 and £17.50 respectively.

In the meantime, BEP's main asset, Fergie, will flaunt her own alongside the likes of Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Sofia Loren in the onscreen musical, 'Nine', directed by Rob Marshall and also starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

Tickets for the arena tour go on sale tomorrow, Friday 18 December, at 9am, costing (now I hope you're sitting down for this) £55.75 for the London and Birmingham dates, £56 for Manchester.
