Stormzy 2022 UK tour at Utilita Arena Birmingham - how to get tickets, Stormzy setlist and support act details

Stormzy has become a world renowned name on not just the UK grime scene but on the world music stage.

His 2020/21 world tour was forced into cancellation due to the coronavirus pandemic, including his show in Birmingham.

The show has since been rescheduled and will now take place on 23 March.

Who is Stormzy?

A 28-year-old grime artist from Croydon, Stormzy (aka Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr.), began to be noticed on the UK grime scene back in 2014.

In 2014 and 2015 he won the Best Grime Act at the MOBO Awards and has released two albums, ‘Gang Signs & Prayers’ in 2016 and ‘Heavy is The Head’ in 2019.

Stormzy has played to sold out crowds around the world and has headlined many festivals, including Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds.

In 2019 ‘Vossi Bop’ became Stormzy’s first UK number one hit and his performance at Glastonbury in the same year was widely praised.

During his show in Cardiff on 13 March, Stormzy revealed that his third album will be released later this year.
