TOUR NEWS: Dizzee Rascal Sideshows Announced (AUS)

School might be out for summer, but Dizzee Rascal will be dishing out lessons. Already announced as playing at the Big Day Out music festival, Australian fans can now also catch Dizzee at his sideshows in Byron Bay, Sydney and Melbourne.

Dizzee Rascal’s equation is complex and compelling: Hip Hop + Grime + Ragga + Rock + Electro + Garage + found sounds + whatever-fires-his-imagination = Dizzee. Whichever way you add it up, the math is sound.

Dizzee Rascal, who won the Mercury Music Prize as an 18-year-old kid with his debut album, 2003’s Boy in Da Corner, is now leading the pack with his third long-player, Maths + English.

But Dizzee Rascal’s forte is the live arena – as he puts less capable acts to shame. Educational and entertaining? They said it couldn’t be done! Take a class with Dizzee Rascal in early 2008. Check tour dates for show info.

Dizzee Rascal's Maths + English is out now through XL/ Remote Control.
