CURRENT favourites The Black Eyed Peas and the ultra-sexy Pussycat Dolls have announced a four stadium UK tour for June.

Although they're misisng out, Wales fans will be sure to travel to see these two top acts from the States.

They'll be playing Scotland and Manchester but just a little closer you'll be able to catch them at Birmingham's NEC on June 13 and Wembley Arena on June 16.

Black Eyed Peas have transcended their hip-hop roots and have become a global phenomenon.

2003's Elephunk was a breakthrough album for The Black Eyed Peas, vaulting them to a level of success unparalleled by any other hip-hop group.

The accolades are quick to recite: 7.5 million albums sold worldwide, four Grammy nominations and one Grammy award.

But if Elephunk was the group being crowned prince of the castle, then Monkey Business, their fourth album, is The Black Eyed Peas conquering the throne to become King.

Meanwhile the sassy Pussycat Dolls continue their global domination with their current hit Beep.

The LA band had one one of the hottest pop tracks of 2005 with their number one Don't Cha.

Don't let the provocative lyrics and dancing mislead you - the Pussycat Dolls are all about female empowerment.

"It's all about being who you are, having fun and being confident... and feeling hot," says Nicole Kea, lead singer.

We couldn't agree more!
