He’ll be performing alongside BBC Radio 1’s Hot For 2016 artist Bugzy Malone and the pair are supported by Ex On The Beach star DJ Ashley Cain.

His performance at the O2 Academy will be one of his first in over two years.

Wretch 32 rose from the grime scene and has just released the album Growing Over Life. Jason Blackburn, of show promoters Storm Platinum Events, reckons it’s a show not to be missed.

Jason said: “Ticket sales are already going well so I’d urge anyone who’s interested to book up fast before they all sell out.

“This is a one off event from the artist and not to be missed after his previous performances at Wireless Festival and Space in Ibiza.”

Tickets costing £22.50 are available from www.ticketweb.co.uk.
