MONDAY 14th MAY 2012WRETCH 32
Following on from the overwhelming response to his sold out debut UK headline tour this Autumn, Wretch 32 has announced he will be embarking on a second UK headline tour in May 2012.
2011 has been an incredible year for Wretch 32, aka the MC’s MC. After being earmarked as the artist to watch at the top year by everyone from BBC, NME, Q magazine and MTV through to Tinie Tempah and Professor Green, he successfully went on to score three consecutive top five hits with the infectious ‘Traktor’, anthemic ‘Unorthodox’ and number 1 single ‘Don’t Go’, all taken from his critically acclaimed, chart-topping album ‘Black and White’.
Regarded as one of the biggest music success stories of this year, Wretch 32 has gone from strength to strength: after gracing the stages of numerous festivals in the summer, (including Glastonbury, Wireless and V Festival), this autumn saw him embark on a nationwide headline sell out tour, perform on Later With Jools Holland, be appointed as an official Adidas ambassador for their Olympics 2012 campaign, and be nominated for 4 MOBO awards and a Q award.
Wretch 32’s summer 2012 tour will take him to areas in the UK that he didn’t cover on his previous run. Kicking off on 8th May 2012 in Portsmouth and ending on 19th May in Falmouth, the tour, which will be his biggest to date, will showcase new material from Wretch 32’s second studio album in the making, in addition to featuring favourites from ‘Black and White’.
