Teen sensation Austin Mahone has officially announced dates for his upcoming summer tour, as well as his first debut album release.

“This is for my Mahomies. Thank you for supporting me and sticking with me all this time,” said the singer in a press release statement. “I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to be able to announce new music and a huge tour for all you guys!”

The tour will kick off in Mahone’s home town of San Antonio on July 25, with his debut album The Secret, being released a month before on May 27. Joining him in his debut will be The Vamps and Fifth Harmony.

Already known for hit singles like “MMM Yeah,” “Say You’re Just A Friend,” “Say Somethin,” and “What About Love,” this will mark a whole new territory for the young singer as he moves forward with his musical career.

“I want my first album to just be crazy, like, ‘Aw man this kid is like, this came out of nowhere, he’s got an insane album,’ so, I mean, I’ve worked with so many talented producers and so I just want to pick the right songs for it.”

Speculation is also forming that the album could include the mysterious track he reportedly recorded with Justin Bieber when they were recently spotted in the same recording studio.
