Tickets will go on sale this week to see Dizzee Rascal in Newcastle after it was announced the city has been included as one of three new dates the rapper has added to his tour.
The Mercury Prize-winner will be at Utilita Arena on October 8 where he will be stopping off on the tour that is a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of his debut hit Boy In Da Corner. The extra dates, which also include Nottingham and Cardiff, follow on from the success of his sell-out show at London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in March, which won him four-star reviews.
The artist, who was a headliner at Lindisfarne Festival in 2021, said of the milestone moment for his groundbreaking first album: "It's mad how it's 20 years since Boy In Da Corner! That album changed my life and I'm forever thankful to everyone who's shown love in that time."
