Ariana Grande has already announced most of the dates for her Dangerous Woman Tour. And, according to Headline Planet, Grande revealed two opening acts for the concert. In a latest string of social media posts on Thursday, Sept. 22, Grande revealed that Little Mix and pop artist Victoria Monet (who also co-wrote several tracks on the Dangerous Woman album) will perform during the tour.

Little Mix and Victoria Monet also took to social media to express their excitement over teaming up with the singer.

Earlier this month, Grande made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to make an official announcement for her biggest tour yet, in support of her third studio album, Dangerous Woman, which has a girl power and take-charge theme on it. However, some of Grande’s fans were hoping her new boyfriend and collaborator Mac Miller will join her onstage to perform their 2013 single “The Way” or their latest duets “My Favorite Party” and “Into You” remix.

Insiders already told Hollywood Life that Grande “wants him by her side” as much as possible.

“She’s already asked Mac to join her when she kicks off her tour next year. Ari wants him by her side on the road and he’s going to do his best to be with her as much as possible. It will also give him a chance to work on some new music when he’s traveling with her. Neither of them want to spend too much time away from each other. They’re both committed to keeping their relationship their number one priority, along with their music of course.”

But for now, that’s all a mystery. The Dangerous Woman Tour kicks off on Feb. 2 in Phoenix, AZ, and will wrap up in later dates on April 15 in Orlando. Grande told her fans that she plans to include more cities in the near future, but she just wanted to get the news out as soon as possible. Now that Little Mix and Victoria Monet have been officially announced as Grande’s openers, it’s sure to bring some much needed girl power, as Teen Vogue has noted in a previous report.

In addition, Little Mix is working on their upcoming single and album. According to a new report via Digital Spy, their new single could be coming sooner than you know. The rumored new song is to be titled “Shout Out To My Ex.” The energetic girls made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Rumors circulated that Little Mix has already filmed the accompanying music video in a desert in Spain. Over the summer, Jesy Nelson teased that Little Mix’s new album will address their past relationships.

“I think it’s always easier to write about your experiences through music because people can relate to them anyway. It’s a lot more mature, this album.”

Perrie Edwards, who ended her engagement with Zayn Malik last year, previously told Digital Spy that the album will have a lot of girl power themes.

“We’ve always loved girl power. We’re all about feeling independent, feeling confident and strong in yourself. It’s honest and stuff that we’ve experienced. We want to write about things we can always relate to.”

Little Mix is expected to release their new album before Christmas. Tickets for the Dangerous Woman Tour will go on sale on Saturday, Sept. 24, on the Live Nation website. If you’re an American Express cardholder, you already have access as of this Tuesday.
