The Fresh Prince is set to tour the United Kingdom for what we believe to be the first time ever, as Will Smith has announced five dates this August.

The tour comes as the Hollywood superstar is set to release his first album in more than 20 years, Based On A True Story, with promoters promising: “These live shows will see him performing songs from the new album along with his classic hits including 'Jiggy Wit It', 'Miami', 'Summertime' and more.”

Smith is set to perform in Scarborough, Cardiff, Manchester, London and Wolverhampton as part of the tour, while also venturing into major cities throughout Morocco, Europe as part of the Based On A True Story Tour.

The album is set for release on March 28 - which gives fans ample time to learn the material before watching Will play at one of these shows later this year.

The star has kept a low profile since his notorious slapping incident at the Oscars in 2022.

During the 94th Academy Awards, he walked onstage and slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face following an unscripted joke Rock made about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, which was a result of alopecia.

Smith, who later picked up Best Actor for his role in King Richard, was subsequently banned from the Oscars ceremony for 10 years.
