Dizzee Rascal to perform 'Boy In Da Corner' in London

The first time he plays the treasured grime album fully in the UK

Despite releasing 'Boy In Da Corner' 13 years ago, Dizzee Rascal has never performed the album in full in the UK before. That's set to change in October as he heads to London for an exclusive live show.

A venue is yet to be announced, but the East Londoner will play the record fully on October 21 as part of Red Bull Music Academy's UK tour. He did the same at RBMA New York earlier this year.

He'll be in town the day before the gig, too, as he heads up a lecture at The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick.

Other events on the RBMA UK tour include an Awful Records showcase on October 20, Awesome Tapes From Africa's 10th anniversary at Corsica Studios, Marcel Dettmann, Call Super and more in Leeds and a Numbers party in Glasgow on October 14.
