LEICESTER'S JONEZY IN SHOWS DÉBUTS

Leicester music artist JONEZY will be making his début at two shows in November. On Saturday 2nd November, the 23 year old rapper will be on stage at The Abbey Park Fireworks in a show to be headlined by rising rock stars The Vamps.

On Friday 8th November, Jonezy will be making his début appearance at Leicester's O2 Academy when he will be performing with Melton Mowbray band Strike up the Colours.

Top of the bill is the Leicester band The Fores, who in 2012 were awarded ‘Best Newcomer’ at the prestigious International Independent Charts Awards, with previous winners being urban sensation Dizzee Rascal, The Saturdays and the Arctic Monkeys.

John Sinclair, DJ for the O2 show and producer of the Leicester Music Podcast, said:

“Takeover Radio have put together another exciting line-up for their next gig at the O2
Academy on Friday 8th November.”

The night will also feature the Leicester University band The Dirty Future. 

Jonezy, the Leicester, hip-hop artist has had a good year, playing a series of major festivals as well as going to Norway to perform in shows and to record songs with the young Norwegian singer Alexandru.
His performance at the Abbey Park event is one of the highlights of his career.

Jonezy said “I am thrilled to be playing with the Vamps and to have the chance to perform to an
audience running into thousands.”
