De La Soul
Long Island trio De La Soul are celebrating 30 years of hip hop at Rock City on 17th May. For three decades they have released tracks full of inscrutable samplings, whimsically irreverent lyrics, social commentary, light rhythm and laid-back rhymes. Combining jazz, funk, soul and rap – their sound is unique and remained fresh since their formation.

Faye Webster
Following the release of last year’s ‘Atlanta Millionaires Club’, Faye Webster has announced a headline show at Manchester’s YES on 25th May.
