T-Pain is heading to New Zealand for three shows in February after touring Australia.

The Grammy Award-winning auto-tune artist will be performing DJ sets at Auckland's Studio, Christchurch's the Foundry and Mt Maunganui's ASB Baypark.

T-Pain, real name Faheem Rashad Najm, will be promoting the release of his upcoming 
album Stoicville: The Phoenix.

The 'I'm in Love with a Stripper' hitmaker has featured in comedy songs such as 'I'm on a Boat' among his more than 50 successful singles. He's collaborated with the likes of Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Pitbull and 50 Cent.

T-Pain cancelled his last planned trip Down Under, saying he didn't receive payment for it.

His DJ sets will reportedly feature "a few special on-stage surprises", which may mean special guest performers.

Tickets are on sale now through Eventfinda.co.nz.
