Ryan Adams will return to Australia in May for a limited run of shows on the east coast.

The American singer/songwriter whose new album, Prisoner, is out on February 17, will play in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in what will be his biggest tour here in terms of venues.

On his first tour in 2002, Adams played rooms up to 1000 capacity but in 2017 he will be playing mid-size arenas such as Margaret Court Arena, on May 23, the Hordern Pavilion, on May 27 and The Tivoli, on May 23.

Tickets are on sale from February 16.
