Lily Allen and Dizzee Rascal, two of the undoubted festival highlights of the summer have announced co headline UK arena dates at Manchester MEN Arena on March 5 and London The O2 Arena on March 7 2010.
Lily Allen whose current album 'It’s Not Me, It’s You' has sold 1.5 million copies and features singles 'Not Fair', '22' and Number 1 'The Fear', was one of the big hits at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, T In The Park and V Festival. Lily has recently returned from a sell-out tour of America and live dates in Australia and Japan. She says: 'I'm really looking forward to playing these special shows - I'm a massive fan of what Dizzee does"
It’s been one hell of a year for Dizzee Rascal. In the past 12 months alone he’s scored three Number One singles with 'Dance Wiv Me’ and 'Bonkers’ and latest single 'Holiday', each being released on his own independent label Dirtee Stank. That’s not to mention scooping an NME Award and GQ solo artist of the year, being nominated for an Ivor Novello Award and playing a barnstorming show at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage. His fourth album 'Tongue n Cheek' charted this week at number 3. Dizzee says: 'Lily and I have both worked well in the past so it’s no doubt these shows will be nights to remember'.
Tickets for both shows go on sale on Friday 9th October at 9am. However, fans can buy tickets from 7th October when they pre-order Lily Allen’s new special edition CD/DVD of her album 'It’s Not Me, It’s You' from HMV.
