Academy Music Group can announce that Professor Green will be the first act to headline O2 Academy Leicester. The show will see the chart-topping rapper take to the stage for his first non-festival appearance of the year, with his full live band and an energetic set following hit collaboration with Lily Allen on ‘Just Be Good To Green’ and dancefloor smash ‘Need You Tonight’ with Ed Drewett. First signed to Mike Skinner’s record label, ‘The Beats’, Professor Green has grown from an underground hero to mainstream star. He has just released his debut album (Monday 19th July) ‘Alive Till I’m Dead’ on Virgin Records to mass critical acclaim, reaching #2 in the UK album charts. “It is a real honour to be asked to perform at the opening of O2 Academy Leicester. No doubt it will have the great energy and vibe that all O2 Academy venues have and I look forward to being the first headline act to grace the stage.” Professor Green |
