This is almost a hip-hop version of the gig guide, with Jurassic 5 (17-6), Homeboy Sandman (06-03), Young Fathers (14-02-2014) and Schoolboy Q (27-05) all announcing gigs over the last few days. Exciting times really, if you ask me, always enjoy bouncing to the sound of hip-hop! There’s even DJ Jazzy Jeff (02-05-2014) if you want to remember back to the fresh prince days.
There’s also the Blind Boys of Alabama in the National Concert Hall in May (21st). Are they really still going? Check out the full list below…
