Nelly, Shaggy and Salt-N-Pepa to perform in R&B throwback gig in Cardiff

UK radio station Kisstory are bringing together some of the biggest names in R&B from the '90s and early noughties.

Branded The Blast Off Tour, it kicks off here in Wales and is set to be hosted by hip-hop icon Fatman Scoop and star names such as Nelly, Shaggy, Blu Cantrell and Salt-N-Pepa.

Other special appearances that have been promised include So Solid Crew members Lisa Maffia and MC Romeo, scene pioneer MC DT and the British duos Oxide & Neutrino, DJ Luck & MC Neat and Sweet Female Attitude.

The throwback show will also have a mystery act, yet to be confirmed - though ticket retailer Gigantic has listed Flo Rida on the line-up.

The tour will travel across the UK next March, including stops in London, Newcastle, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool.

It will hit Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena on Monday March 2.

Host Fatman Scoop said: "This tour is gonna be DOPE. I’ve always felt welcome in the UK, and I’m honoured to be hosting such a huge bill.

"This is gonna be legendary, everyone involved with this tour is gonna kill it every single night."
