The American singer and actress, who rose to fame as a member of girl group The Pussycat Dolls, will perform on October 6 at the London venue for the concert titled An Evening With Nicole Scherzinger.
This comes after the 47-year old won an Olivier award for best actress in a musical for her role as Norma in a West End production of Sunset Boulevard.
She said: 'I am truly humbled to be performing at Royal Albert Hall.
'So many of my heroes have stood on that stage, and to join their legacy means the world to me.'
The setlist will feature hits from both the West End and pop tracks accompanied by a live band to capture the full range of her career across musical theatre and as a popstar.
Days later, the singer will make her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City followed by a performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA – which she promised fans would be 'nothing short of powerful and magical'.
The singer has had a series of top five hits in the UK singles charts as part of The Pussycat Dolls including Don't Cha, Stickwitu and Buttons.
Aside from her music and acting career, she is also known as a TV personality including being a judge on The X Factor – where she helped to form the boyband One Direction.
She will soon appear as a judge in the upcoming Netflix series Building The Band, where she is joined by the late One Direction singer Liam Payne and former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland as the trio judge attempts by contestants to create a band.
Scherzinger was among the stars who performed at the Coronation Concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle in 2023.

American goes to Wimbledon and detail about queue leaves him floored

American tennis fan, Kobie Jordan lives in the UK but was left stunned by his Wimbledon experience as he was forced to endure a very British pastime at the All England Club An American man who is currently visiting Wimbledon for the first time has been left stunned by one aspect of his trip. Tennis fan Kobie Jordan, who now resides in the UK, took to YouTube to offer an insight into his experience at SW19. In a clip recorded outside the All England Club, he admitted: "I don't know if this is common knowledge here in the UK or it's just me - but my mind is lowkey blown as I'm in the process of getting into Wimbledon." Kobie went on to explain that there are two methods for gaining entry - the "very difficult" ballot, or simply by enduring the lengthy queuing system. ‌ "I'm so shocked, I'm going to have to ask others about their queuing experience," Kobie continued as he introduced another attendee on his clip. ‌ "I've been queuing since 4:20am," the man said. "It was dark, it was cold and the hardest part of the queue is the toilets - everyone coming out of them looked shellshocked." He continued: "Around every two hours there is a big shift. When the guy comes over with the wide hat, he says, 'You've got to go' and we just have to pick up our stuff, grab our loved ones and move on." A second man approached Kobie, meanwhile, revealing a ticket confirming his place in the queue was a whopping 11,005. A female tennis fan in the queue also told Kobie: "We've suffered exhaustion, deliriousness, but we've been laughing a lot." Responding to the video, one YouTube user joked: "Only in Britain is a queue a tourist attraction. I worked there for eight years myself and it's sophisticated because everybody will get in and if not they will close the queue." ‌ A second person pointed out: "To clarify this isn't to get into Centre Court or Court 1 where the big matches happen, this is just getting into the grounds. You might catch some of the earlier rounds on smaller courts around but for serious business they're queueing to sit on the hill outside centre court with the big screen." A third revealed: "It was super busy yesterday and the day before. They stopped letting anymore people coming in in the afternoon two days ago onwards because the ground was so full!" Whilst a fourth YouTube user confessed: "Not gonna lie, I had no idea it was like this. I knew the queues were long, but I've never actually seen the scene. Craziness. You have to know you are doing a good job with your channel when you are managing to show even brits new sides of British life." ‌ Others, however, explained that queuing is all part of the fun, and often, where the best memories are made. "Queues can be enormous fun, I've met many a friend in a queue," one individual commented. "A British tradition I do like, though I don't like queue jumpers, very rude, entitled individuals I find." Another added: "For me the queueing was all part of the fun. Drinking, eating, chatting etc... it was bloody long time though." And a third concurred: "The Wimbledon queue is a social event on its own. Six hours flies very quickly."

Pamplona holds opening bull run during Spain's San Fermin festival

It was the first of nine morning runs during the famous celebrations held in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona. The bulls pounded along the twisting cobblestone streets after being led by six steers. Up to 4,000 runners take part in each bull run, which takes place over 846 meters (2,775 feet) and can last three to four minutes. Most runners wear the traditional garb of white trousers and shirt with a red sash and neckerchief. The expert Spanish runners try to sprint just in front of the bull's horns for a few death-defying seconds while egging the animal on with a rolled newspaper. Thousands of spectators watch from balconies and wooden barricades along the course. Millions more follow the visceral spectacle on live television. While gorings are not rare, many more people are bruised and injured in falls and pileups with each other. Medics rush in to treat the injured and take the seriously hurt to a hospital. Unofficial records say at least 15 people have died in the bull runs over the past century. The deadliest day on record was July 13 1980, when four runners were killed by two bulls. The last death was in 2009. The rest of each day is for eating, drinking, dancing and cultural entertainment, including bull fights where the animals that run in the morning are slain in the bull ring by professional matadors each afternoon. The festival was made internationally famous by Ernest Hemingway's classic 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises about American bohemians wasting away in Europe.

I tried the new Race Across the World The Experience – fans of the BBC TV show will love it

WHO doesn't want to Race Across the World like they do in the TV series? To ditch the 9-5 to go on an epic quest and see incredible destinations along the way? But let's face facts, most of us can't take months out of our lives to do that. So I tried out the best next thing, the new Race Across the World The Experience - and fans of the show (just like me) will love it. 5 I recruited my friends to play Race Across the World The Experience Credit: Alice Penwill 5 We ventured around London solving puzzles and brain teasers Credit: Alice Penwill On one of the hottest weekends of the year, myself and a team of three willing friends, met at the game's starting point: London Liverpool Street. As a fan of the BBC series Race Across the World that sees contestants racing across multiple countries without using flights or smartphones for a huge cash prize, I was desperate to try out the UK version that launched this spring in both London and Manchester. Just like the series, the experience is a race against the clock to get from one checkpoint to the next. But unlike the show, you get there by solving lots of puzzles, which are sent through WhatsApp - which is very against the rules of the show, but essential for the experience. To begin, I simply typed 'ready' into my screen and despite having no idea what to expect, sent the message, and the experience began. The first stop was a cafe where I told the man behind the counter I was 'with the race', and he handed over very first task, which was one of the few physical puzzles. It was very maths-heavy, so I wasn't off to a great start and had to take a step back while my friends took over. The answer led us to the very first checkpoint, where the clock began to tick. There are three legs throughout, with options to take different routes along the way varying in complexity and cost. Along the way you have to solve riddles that will guide you to the checkpoint, and keep an eye out because the answers are simple but easy to miss, like a name on an engraving or plaque. I went on my first Disney cruise with classy champagne bars, watercoasters and West End-style shows 5 There are some physical puzzles around London too Credit: Alice Penwill WhatsApp is crucial as you text the answers throughout to confirm you're in the correct location and not aimlessly wandering about. If you don't know the area around Liverpool Street very well, the experience is still very doable as long as you pay attention to what you see. Just like in the TV series, you need 'money' to continue. Each route you choose takes cash out of your budget which initially is £30. To top this up you'll have to 'work', although there's no pulling pints in a London pub - instead, this is done is by solving tricky brain teasers. On the weekend we did the race, it happened to be one of the hottest weekends of the year but you do get breaks and plenty of time to enjoy them too. After reaching each checkpoint, the clock stops to give your team an optional break and at each is a venue where you get an exclusive discount off drinks and snacks. My team and I stopped in at one of the pubs to enjoy a cold drink and some much-needed shade. 5 All the routes cost money which you can top up by doing 'work' tasks Credit: Alice Penwill If you are a large group, you can be split into teams to play against each other with different start locations, but will end in the same place. If you choose to play as a whole team instead, you will be put against other teams with similar times to you. At each leg the game will update you on how you do in comparison, and it does a lot to stir the competitive spirit - by the end, my team and I had set ourselves a fast pace in order to come out on top. At the very end, we got our results and were pretty chuffed to find ourselves at the top of our leader board, and in the top 17 per cent of overall racers. The race can take up to three hours which doesn't include breaks. We completed the experience in just under two hours, but with our breaks, were out around three and a half. The website says that you can play the game multiple times, as there are route variations - but these aren't guaranteed to be different when you book. And one of the downsides is that the physical puzzles at each checkpoint also remain the same so you'll know the answer to those if you play more than once. But it is also running in Manchester so you can give the other experience a go in a different city. Tickets for Race Across the World The Experience are £50 per person. But the cost is reduced the more people you book, for example, a team of eight adults is £200, which works out as £25 each. The opening times are during Monday–Saturday from 9am to 7.30pm (last entry at 7.30pm) Sunday 9.30am to 4.30pm (last entry at 4.30pm).

My Top Tips for completing the Race Across the World The Experience Dress for the occasion Wear comfy shoes and bring some water and snacks too if you don't want to take advantage of the checkpoints. Consider playing work puzzles Play work puzzles throughout the game even if you have money in your budget- the more money you have at the end, the better, as this counts towards your result. Check your spelling You have to send answers to the puzzles through WhatsApp and when you do, double check the spelling. We were caught out by auto correct and receive a fault which affected our score. It's in the details Input everyone's phone number before the experience begins so the whole team can read the questions throughout the game. Lots have images and prompts, so if you want a good time, this is key. Running or walking? Speaking of, decide at the very start what your game-plan is, whether you want to win the race or take your time so everyone's on the same page.
