Adam Ant has announced details of a one-off gig in London next month.

The concert, at Bush Hall on May 9, will serve as a warm-up for Ant's UK tour in the same month and appearance at this summer's Hard Rock Calling festival in London.

Ant is currently recording new material which is expected to form part of a forthcoming studio album.

The singer first shot to fame in the 1980s as the leader of iconic New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (April 22) at 9am.
