Aloe Blacc has announced details of an extensive UK headline tour, which will take place this winter. Beginning at Birmingham’s HMV Institute on December 3, Aloe’s nationwide trek will additionally call at Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol. He will then play a huge show at London’s Hammersmith Apollo on December 15, before concluding at Brighton’s Dome on the following night.

News of Aloe’s UK tour follows the huge crossover success of ‘I Need A Dollar’, which has drawn comparisons with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Gil Scott-Heron. Blacc famously wrote ‘I Need A Dollar’ following a redundancy from his then-job, during which he still gigged furiously as an MC, searching for a break. ‘Dollar’ began to pick up extensive attention following its use on the HBO show, ‘How to Make It in America’, before impacting across Europe and the US, almost via word-of-mouth. Its release through Epic in May eventually led to an extraordinary eight weeks in the UK Top 10, where it peaked at number 2. The track is already nearing 400,000 sales in the UK, has picked up over 13 million Youtube hits for the official video, and was recently nominated for a Mojo Award for Best Song.

With a Top 10 album, ‘Good Things’, also under his belt, Blacc has now emerged as one of the year’s most in-demand new artists.

Having played sell-out headline dates at London’s Somerset House, Scala and Jazz Café – plus show-stealing sets at Glastonbury and other festivals – tickets for Aloe’s UK tour are sure to sell fast.
