Massive throwback R&B gig with Nelly, Shaggy and Salt-N-Pepa coming to Glasgow Hydro

R&B and Hip-hop fans out there hold on to your seats... there's a huge all star line-up of top US artists coming to Glasgow to perform at the SSE Hydro next year.

The Blast Off Tour! will see the likes of Nelly, Flo Rida, Salt-N-Pepa, Mya, Blue Cantrell and Shaggy perform live, alongside So Solid members Lisa Maffia and MC Romeo and more.

And if that isn't enough of a nostalgia trip, the one and only Fatman Scoop will be hosting the special, one-of-a-kind tour - while a 'mystery act' will also be on the bill too.

Speaking about the tour, Shaggy said: “This tour is gonna be crazy. The community that all of us on this bill are part of is incredible, and I’m humbled that I get to share a stage with so many stunning artists and play all these amazing venues.”

While Blu Cantrell, who had the song of 2003 with 'Breathe' with Sean Paul, said: “When I was asked about this tour, saying no just wasn’t an option. Performing alongside some of my oldest friends and playing some of my favourite songs is going to be so much fun!"

The tour format is the first of its kind for the UK and will be stopping off at Cardiff, Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, London and Birmingham as well as Glasgow.

KISSTORY presents The Blast Off Tour! comes to the Hydro on Sunday, March next year.

Tickets go on sale this coming Friday (October 18) at 10 am here.
