GRIME sensation Stormzy has announced a UK tour, hot on the heels of his much-talked about collaboration with Ed Sheeran at this year's Brit Awards.

The 23-year-old is set to be one of the biggest success stories of 2017 and there has been a huge buzz around his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, which dropped today (Friday).

“This is the moment that I have been waiting for my whole life," the London-born rapper said.

"I am now ready to certify my position as a credible artist and someone who is here for the long run.”

Stormzy’s 16-date tour will see him perform hits including Shut up and Big For Your Boots at Birmingham's O2 Academy on Tuesday, April 11.
