NE-YO

Grammy Award-winning singer, composer, producer, and actor NE-YO has announced he will return to the UK for the first time in six years…and Cardiff is one of just three dates selected!

With over 10 million albums sold worldwide, three Grammy Awards and two MOBO Awards, NE-YO is only the second male R&B artist ever to amass six consecutive top 10 albums. Since breaking out with his multiplatinum debut album ‘In My Own Words’ in 2006, NE-YO has continued to be a force and deliver a steady stream of hits with his albums ‘Because of You’ (2007), ‘Year of the Gentleman’ (2008), ‘Libra Scale’ (2010) , R.E.D. (2012) and ‘Non-Fiction’ (2016) and ‘Good Man’ (2018).  He has also written and produced hits for some of music’s biggest megastars, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Celine Dion and more. 

Fresh from an appearance on the hit ITV Show ‘The Masked Singer’ in February – where he was runner up – NE-YO’s affection for his UK fans has drawn him back for a three-city tour stop.  NE-YO’s hotly anticipated UK Tour will see him perform new music from his forthcoming album Self Explanatory’, which comes out on July 15th via Motown Records.

YUNGBLUD

16 Feb 2023

NECK DEEP

The world would be introduced to YUNGBLUD in 2018 with his self-titled EP. Here was a voice that was unafraid to elevate the experiences of his generation: gentrification, assault, troubled upbringings and political corruption. With the release of his full-length debut album 21st Century Liability in July 2018, Harrison’s words resonated with millions, earning him meteoric success. In 2019, his ‘hope for the underrated youth’ EP debuted in the Top 10 for the UK Official Albums Chart.

2020 was the year YUNGBLUD released his UK Number One album weird! which has since been certified Gold, exceeding his potential when he was crowned by MTV Push: Ones to Watch in 2020 and was shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2020 poll. He has since performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 countries, from London’s Alexandra palace to The Shrine in Los Angeles.
