Drake announces UK tour dates →
Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
Good news…Canadian rapper Drake will be touring the UK in 2012 starting in London on the 26th March… bad news? Apparently he’s playing the 02 arena(!) Despite recently rejecting the arenas for cosier venues in Canada This year. If you have enough love that you can overlook this, tickets go on sale this Friday (16/12)
My bands better than your band...
Catch north london talent private life & francobollo (he loves his bicycle) at Angel’s mighty Queens Head this Friday night (09/12)…
