The British act start their UK tour this month, but both local dates come in November - at Birmingham's Town Hall on November 6 and Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, on November 8.

A spokesperson for the group said: "Expect fast-paced medleys and mind-bending mashups as The Sons of Pitches attempt to hit their target of 100 legendary tracks in just one evening. From Michael Jackson to The Beatles, ABBA to Eminem, the show caters to audiences of all ages and is not to be missed."

With more than three million YouTube views and a growing international reputation, they have been said to have 'given a cappella a kick up the backside'.

Since their formation in 2010, Sons Of Pitches - Joe Novelli, Joe Hinds, Jamie Hughes, Joe Belham, Josh Mallett and Midé Naike - have established themselves as one of the premiere vocal groups currently working in the UK.

They shot to fame in November 2015 when they were crowned winners of the BBC2 singing contest The Naked Choir, hosted by Gareth Malone, as they captivated the public’s imagination.

Looking ahead to their tour, Sons of Pitches said: "100 Number One Hits is going to be our biggest, best and most ambitious show yet. We wanted to create a spectacle that would pay homage to some legendary artists while blowing away anyone who came to see it.

“Expect all kinds of genres, a bit of comedy and the odd tear jerker. We'll be singing iconic songs from start to finish as well as juggling numerous hits in massive medleys. The audience will have to keep an eye on the counter clock to see how many we've got left to sing. Come along and count the hits."

Tickets to both shows are available from www.livenation.co.uk and www.ticketmaster.co.uk
