The former X Factor finalist will perform songs from his new record, Rhydian, on the tour next May.
The Welsh singer said: "I can't wait to start my first headline tour next year, I feel I am really living when I am singing on stage and can't wait to perform my album.
"The rest of life is like putting pieces together, trying to make sense of it. But when I am onstage, lights on, in the zone, that's real, proper life for me. And it's a great life. On stage, singing, that's where I belong."
The singer's album has been a year in the making and is released next week. He covers Simon and Garfunkel, Meatloaf and Queen songs on the record.
Rhydian said: "You can't rush a good album. We wanted to make something timeless, full of great songs, not just an X Factor tribute."
The tour starts at Nottingham Royal Centre on Friday May 1 and ends at Sheffield City Hall on Saturday May 23. Tickets go on sale on Friday November 21 at 10am from www.gigsandtours.com.
The singer will return to ITV1's The X Factor on Saturday night to perform his new single The Impossible Dream.
