COMING TO NOTTINGHAM 24 APRIL 2016
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have announced their first European tour in nearly two years, playing their biggest shows on the continent to date. The 31-date tour follows an intimate run of historic US theatres in January and February. The tour will stop off at Capital FM Arena Nottingham on Sunday 24 April 2016.
The duo are partnering with Plus 1 so that a euro from every ticket purchased on their tour will go to support Partners in Health, Equal Justice Initiative, Youth Speaks and the 30/30 Project. They are committed to using their platform and resources to advance issues of equity and justice and are partnering with organizations dedicated to these same values.
“Downtown” continues to climb the Billboard and radio charts on the rise to quickly become the duo’s third Top 5 hit. The song, which features Eric Nally and Hip Hop pioneers Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel, has been performed on the VMA’s and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the video has been viewed over 45 million times on YouTube. It was certified GOLD with over 500,000 in sales in the US, selling over 1 million tracks worldwide.
“Downtown” is the first single from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s follow up to their multiple GRAMMY Award winning, platinum selling debut album ‘The Heist.’ Album cut, “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)” featuring Ed Sheeran was released in August. The song was written before the birth of Macklemore’s first child and is dedicated to his daughter Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty. Stay tuned for more details on the forthcoming album.
Tickets go on sale at 9:30am on Friday 30 October 2015
