Get ready to mark your calendars because some of the biggest names in music are touring the UK this year! That’s right, Drake, SZA, Beyonce and Lil Baby have announced they are going on tour this year. The four artists are known for their exceptional talent, chart topping success and cultural influence.
SZA earned her first number one album on the billboard 200, for eight weeks straight. The album “SOS”,released on the 9th December 2022, featured 23 new tracks, covering the genres of R&B, Pop, Rap and almost every other genre you can think of. The US singer & songwriter boasts an impressive monthly listenership of 67 million on Spotify, her album “SOS '' made a notable impact on the digital music streaming service, setting a new record for their highest single-day streams of an R&B album.
The “SOS” tour, which commenced ticket sales in December 2022, quickly sold out due to high demand. Although tickets are no longer available on Ticketmaster, they can still be purchased from trusted resale platforms, such as Vivid seats and Stubhub. After recently adding two more UK tour dates, the Grammy winning R&B artist will be performing from the 13th - 26th June, not only in London, but Manchester & Glasgow too!
