Revered rapper Headie One has confirmed a stop in Bristol as part of his upcoming UK tour, set to take him to major cities across the country in support of his recently-released, critically-acclaimed debut album, Edna.

 

The breakout drill artist will perform live at Bristol's O2 Academy on Tuesday 4 May as part of an eagerly-anticipated 11-show run.

Having broken into the mainstream in 2018 with mixtape The One, Tottenham-born rapper Headie One has emerged as one of the UK's brightest musical talents in 2020.

 

A string of collaborations with established artists including Skepta, Dave and AJ Tracey among many others have earned him a stellar reputation across London and beyond, scoring UK Top Tens with '18Hunna', 'Only You Freestyle' and 'Aint It Different'.

 

Headie's long-awaited debut album dropped this month, jumping to Number One in the UK Albums Chart with a total of more than 26 million streams in its first week.

 

The culmination of his prolific musical output, Edna features input from several renowned contemporaries including Drake, Stormzy and Aitch.

 

Headie One will arrive at the O2 Academy next year for his first Bristol performance since 2019, when he played two shows at Motion's Sequences Festival and SWX in August and October, respectively.

 

Following next year's Bristol show, he'll be performing in Manchester, London, Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle and Leeds before closing the tour at Nottingham's Rock City on Wednesday 19 May.
