Yes, you read it right, Gleeks.

Fox is shipping its song-happy schoolkids far, far away. But it's not as ominous as it sounds...

Call in the British invasion...in reverse. Fox has announced that the cast from its Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning show will head to Europe for a series of concert dates.

Glee Live! In Concert will play gigs in London, Dublin and Manchester next year during the show's summer hiatus.

The dates, now set to run June 22 through July 3, will feature all the members of the show's titular chorus: Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) and newbies Chord Overstreet (Sam) and Darren Criss (Blaine).

The new jaunt will stick to the song-and-dance formula of this year's sold-out U.S. concert trek.

First Europe. Then the world.
