Winner of numerous Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards and "Most Searched By Kids And Teens On AOL" honours, Hilary Duff isn't far off eclipsing Britney Spears in America's pre-teen market.
Commonly referred to as a global pop sensation, the 19-year-old became a household name via the Disney channel series Lizzie McGuire.
Big-screen appearances followed, many apparently geared to re-branding her as a singer: 2002's Santa Clause heralded her musical debut, the Christmas album Santa Clause Lane.
Since her debut proper in 2003, Duff has been a best-seller in the US charts and her tour there sold out in 45 minutes.
Released last year, her fourth album Most Wanted contained songs "inspired by" The Killers and Muse, but audiences for her first UK tour shouldn't encourage her to rock out too much: Last year she had to have veneers after chipping her teeth on the mic.
Starts at 7.30pm, tickets cost £22.50 and £20. Call 0870 9009100
