London grime artist Stormzy has announced a 16-date UK and Ireland tour in support of his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer.
The 23-year-old kicks things off in Dublin on 29 March and will play a host of major cities before concluding the tour in his hometown of London with a pair of dates at Brixton Academy at the beginning of May.
The ‘Wickedskengman4’ artist said: “This is the moment that I have been waiting for my whole life. I am now ready to certify my position as a credible artist and someone who is here for the long run.”
For a taste of what a night with Stormzy is like, have a read of in 2015 and found that manners maketh the man. Wrote James: “Before playing a more mellow, romantic track for all the screaming females in attendance, Stormzy addressed the ‘mandem’ in the crowd and asked their permission to take a brief detour from ‘grime time.’ ‘Yo, Mandem. Can I just speak to the ladies for a minute, please?’ After a dull response, he brilliantly labelled the guys ‘cock-blocks.’”
The full list of dates is as below. Tickets are on sale now you can get them here.
