Little Simz announces biggest headline shows to date at Manchester's Co-Op Live and London's O2 Arena

Amping up anticipation for the arrival of her sixth studio album, ‘Lotus’, Little Simz has revealed that she’ll be playing the biggest shows of her career this Autumn, when she headlines Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena and London’s iconic O2 Arena. 

“Open mic nights, empty bar & pub gigs. Damn. How did we get here,” Simz has said of the announcement, writing on Instagram. “Playing my first arena shows to date this year. 

6: don’t quit, keep building it brick by brick x

Can’t wait for us to dance again, gonna be proper”.

The news comes hot on the heels of our latest LP preview ‘Free’ - a lush, strings-heavy track that started life as a poem about the dualities of love and fear, and which follows ‘Flood’ to be the second single lifted from ‘Lotus’ (due out on 6th June via AWAL).

Tickets for Simz’ pair of arena shows will go on general sale at 10am on Friday 11th April here
