American R&B pop icon Chaka Khan is stopping in New Zealand for one show at Auckland's Civic Theatre in April this year.

The Tell Me Something Good singer, also known as the Queen of Funk, will head to Melbourne and Syndey after her Auckland stop on 16 April.

It will be the 10-time Grammy Award winner's first time holding a concert in New Zealand in her 50-year music career. She will also be celebrating her 72nd birthday this weekend.

General public tickets will go on sale from 26 February at 12pm, with some pre-sales on Monday and Tuesday.
