Skepta has announced a headline tour for November 2019, Including London event at London’s Olympia on 29th
On 31st May, Skepta ended weeks of fevered anticipation by releasing his highly anticipated fifth studio album, ‘Ignorance Is Bliss‘. An instant hit with fans and critics alike, the record was met with huge, widespread acclaim and entered the UK album charts at number two.
Released via Skepta’s own Boy Better Know label, Ignorance Is Bliss is the follow up to his era-defining ‘Konnichiwa’ album. Brilliantly uncompromising, authentic and unwavering in its desire to push boundaries, it’s set to go down as Skepta’s best album to date. Skepta takes the lead/sole producer role on the majority of the record alongside the likes of Ragz Originale, Ayo, IndigoChildRick and Trench, and collaborations with Nafe Smallz, Key, J Hus, Cheb Rabi & B Live, Lancey Foux, Lay Z & Wizkid and BBK.
He now announces his first headline tour since the release of ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’. The run of shows will culminate in a huge hometown event at London’s 10,000 capacity Olympia on Friday 29th November. Skepta will also perform at festivals across Europe over the summer, including a residency at the Manchester International Festival alongside fellow headliners Yoko Ono and Idris Elba & Kwame Kwei-Armah, where we will be debuting his truly unique, immersive ‘DYSTOPIA987‘ show.
