Plug pulled on ‘unscheduled’ Dizzee Rascal ‘pull up’ gig in Margate
UK rapper Dizzee Rascal is staging a free ‘pull up’ gig in Margate tonight (May 9).
The award-winning artist is holding the free event on the King’s Steps from 6pm and is inviting everyone to join the ‘rave up.’
Dizzee Rascal was widely praised for his 2003 debut, Boy in da Corner, released when the MC and producer was only 18.
He won the U.K.’s prestigious Mercury Prize and since then, has catapulted to international stardom, working with artists such as Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys, and Shakira, and scoring four UK number one hits off his fourth album, 2009’s dance-oriented Tongue N’ Cheek.
Another chart-friendly release, 2013’s The Fifth, sported hit collaborations with will.i.am and Robbie Williams. He returned to his earlier grime sound with subsequent albums like Raskit (2017) and Don’t Take It Personal (2024).
The rapper is also due to take to the stage at Dreamland on Friday 29 August alongside British lyricist Mike Skinner of The Streets, and DJ Badger. Details and tickets at: at www.margatesummerseries.co.uk
