Platinum-selling South London collective, D-Block Europe, will play a headline show at The County Ground, Derby, on Saturday 29 June.
Performing at the historic Derby venue for the first time, after recent sell-out nights at the O2 in London and Manchester Arena, British duo Young Adz and Dirtbike LB are set to bring the energy and deliver a memorable set for fans in the East Midlands.
The show will include some of the biggest tracks from throughout D-Block Europe’s back catalogue, as well as songs from their number one album ‘Rolling Stone’.
Known for their rule-defying approach, the duo skilfully fuses raw, introspective lyrics with an electrifying mix of melodies and rhythms. Each track is a chapter in their ongoing saga, painting a picture of life as rolling stones – constantly moving, unstoppable in their journey.
Consistent in carving their lane, Young Adz and Dirtbike LB have made a meteoric rise nearing closer to global domination since joining forces during their teens. A renowned sound coined as wavy trap has earned them a staggering 10+ Gold & 6 Platinum singles, 6 Gold mixtapes, over 5 billions global streams, and 30 x top 40 singles, including a #2 single with ‘Prada’ featuring Raye and produced by Casso. Meanwhile their cult classics ‘Overseas’, ‘Darling’ and ‘Make You Smile’ have transferred them from Lewisham to worldwide reputation outlined by features from, Offset, Ed Sheeran, Central Cee and more.
The growth has come with record-breaking highlights, most notably becoming the first UK rap artist to reach 7 x Top 10 albums with their mixtape ‘DBE World’ in 2023. The duo also boast an impressive live resume having previously sold out double headline shows at Alexandra Palace in a day and with 3 x sold out O2 Arena’s in London under their belt to date.
Derbyshire Chief Executive, Ryan Duckett, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming of the UK’s biggest acts to our venue, for what promises to be one of the most anticipated concerts not only in Derby, but across the region this summer.
“Over the last decade, working in partnership with a range of local, national and international promoters, we have played host to many big artists, such as Elton John, Michael Bublé, The Who and Little Mix, and it will be fantastic to have D-Block Europe one of the most influential acts right now here to create another historic night for the city.”
Derby City Council leader, Councillor Baggy Shanker, said: “The County Ground has established itself as a major events venue for the City and wider region and this promises to be another fantastic night. With a number one album and recent sell outs at major venues in London and Manchester it is a real coup for the venue and the city to be hosting this event and another boost for the city with the economic impact that comes with hosting these events.”
