Aitch announces Manchester Academy show on UK tour - here's how to get tickets

Manchester rapper Aitch has announced details of a headline UK tour.

The New Moston-born grime artist will headline a hometown date at the Academy on September 20.

It's part of his biggest headline tour to date which will see him perform his breakthrough hit 'Taste (Make It Shake)' which currently sits at the top of the UK iTunes Chart.

He first started out freestyling at school and a YouTube video entitled 'Straight Rhymez' generated more than one million views in a month.

Since then the 19-year-old has gained support from the likes of Wiley and Stormzy and collaborated on the top 20 single 'Strike a Pose' alongside Young T and Bugsey.

He's also released solo material 'Wait' and 'Trust Me' and boasts more than two million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Earlier this month he was spotted at a New Moston butty shop 'Love Lunch' alongside Ed Sheeran as the pair were filming for a new music video.

In snapshots shared on Aitch's Instagram story, the pair could be seen sitting a a table together in front of plates of food - and a bottle of Ed's beloved Heinz tomato ketchup.

His upcoming tour also heads to Dublin, Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Cardiff.
