'Heatwave' hitmaker Wiley has announced details of a tour that will take him across the UK later this year.

The grime MC is set to hit the road in support of his recently released new album, 'The Ascent', which he leaked independently after his label team failed to respond to his requests, and he will perform a total of 7 concerts.

Back in March, the star shared his new album for free with his online following and told fans that his decision to do so came after his "label and manager have been ignoring me", adding: "I am leaking my album at 7... Americans do it so i am doing it. You lot who follow me can have it 12 days early... If ITunes don't do what i say i am leaking the album at 7 and i am not joking. I made a mistake on the album i need to make a change if Itunes cannot change the mistake i will leak it... today..."
