There are plenty of fantastic gigs to look forward to in Bristol before the end of the year, with something for everyone to enjoy.
And early next year fans of R&B have a reason to be excited as a huge icon from the genre is stopping off in Bristol on her UK tour.
Grammy Award-winning and Billboard chart-topping songstress Ashanti will kick off her nine-date tour at Bristol's O2 Academy on January 29, before playing at other major venues including London's Eventim Apollo and Manchester's BEC Arena.
Best known for hits such as Foolish, Rock Wit U, Rain on Me and Only U, the multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter, producer and actress has sold millions of records across the world and picked up a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards and two American Music Awards since releasing her self-titled debut album in 2002.
In Bristol the 39-year-old will be joined by Ginuwine, one of the biggest R&B artists of the 90s and 00s.
Ginuwine released his debut solo single Pony in 1996 and continued to confirm his superstar status with tracks such as In Those Jeans , Differences , So Anxious , his epic cover of Prince’s When Doves Cry and collaborations with the likes of Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, P Diddy and long-time collaborator Timbaland.
Speaking about the tour, a spokesperson said: "With such stellar credentials across not only the R&B scene but the music and pop-culture industries at large, this is a tour not to be missed."
