Originally scheduled to take place in 2020, Stormzy is finally (fingers crossed) embarking on his biggest ever tour of the UK, stopping off at Sheffield Arena.
Since his rise to prominence in the early 2010s, Stormzy’s journey has seen him go from uploading his own series of freestyles over classic grime beats to becoming the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury Festival, achieving the status of a global icon along the way. There’s not much in the music world he hasn’t already conquered – selling millions of albums across the globe, collaborating with superstars and receiving countless awards along the way. Outside of this sphere, Stormzy is a political agitator and spokesman for black empowerment and social activism.
