Flume is scaling up on his just-announced world tour, kicking things off with three stadium shows in New Zealand.

The Australian dance star, who will release his second album later this month, will kick off his world tour with a show at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on July 19, Pitchfork reported.

The Never Be Like You hitmaker, real name Harley Edward Streten, will then head to Christchurch for a Horncastle Arena show on July 20, before hitting Auckland's Vector Arena on July 22.

The 24-year-old said he'd be bringing an all-new stage set up on the tour, which takes in America and Europe and wraps up in Manchester on November 18.

"I'll be spending most of this year bringing my new live show to a bunch of cities across the world," he wrote on Instagram.

"It's something I've been working on for a while, with an entirely new setup and a few other surprises - it's the biggest tour I've ever done with more than 45 headline dates around the world."
