N-Dubz has been announced as the headlining act at an open-air gig in Derby this summer. The Hip-hop and grime trio are set to play at Incora County Ground in June after the group reformed earlier this year.
Tulisa, Dappy and Fazer are due to perform on June 24 as part of their first UK tour in 11 years. Tickets for the summer gig are available for fans later this month, tickets will cost £45 and £65 for the golden circle and will be available from the cricket ground's website.
As reported by Derbyshire Live, fans have been spoiled as N-Dubz is also being supported by former Love Islander, turned singer Wes Nelson. Between 2006 and 2012 the trio dominated the charts and sold 1.3 million albums, with their first two albums Uncle B and Against All Odds certified Platinum in the UK.

In 2009 their smash-hit collaboration with Tinchy Stryder hit No.1 on the UK Singles Chart with Number 1. The band has won four MOBO awards – Best Newcomer in 2007, Best Album and Best Act in 2009 and Best Song in 2010 for their single Playing with Fire.
They also won a O2 Silver Clef Award in 2009 and were nominated for Best British Single at the BRITs in 2010. Last year, they made a comeback with the release of their new single Charmer, which featured the storytelling of Dappy and Fazer, alongside vocals from Tulisa.
Local entrepreneur Nathan Thaker, owner of city-based Icons Talent, has arranged the concert in a departure from the company’s usual role of bringing actors to film on location in the county.
He said: “This gig is going to be absolutely massive, because N-Dubz are back and better than ever. Derby is my hometown and I am determined to bring some of the best events to the city – I really want to put it on the map. Securing Wes Nelson too is a real coup, he has a following in his own right, so this gig will be a real attraction for music lovers across the generations.
“This is an exciting time for Derby. The Incora County Ground is a brilliant space for a summer concert and with more venues on the way as part of the city’s revamp I hope this concert is the start of things to come.”
