N-Dubz reunion tour: tickets, 2022 prices, songs, Tulisa and Dappy dates including Birmingham and Manchester

Popular hip hop group N-Dubz have announced that they will reform for a UK stadium tour later this year.

On Monday (16 May), the band announced the end of their decade-long hiatus on social media.

A 40-second video shared by group members showed a helicopter flying over London with the trio later emerging on to a landing strip.

Here is everything you need to know about it.

Who are N-Dubz?

N-Dubz consists of rappers Dappy, real name Costadinos Contostavlos, his cousin Tulisa Contostavlos and Fazer, real name Richard Rawson.

‘Uncle B’ and ‘Against All Odds’, the band's first two albums, were certified platinum in the UK, and ‘Number One’, a collaboration with Tinchy Stryder, reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 2009.

They've won four Mobo awards, including best newcomer in 2007, best album and best act in 2009, and best song in 2010. They were also nominated for a Brit award for best British single in 2010.

Individual members have faced their fair share of scandal, including Dappy and Tulisa's court appearances.

Dappy has admitted to "going off the rails" after he started making money, and escaped two prison sentences in 2014 and 2017.

In 2013, Tulisa was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs, however the charges were dropped after prosecution witness "fake sheikh" Mazher Mahmood was found guilty of tampering with evidence during her 2014 trial.

Is there any new music?

In 2011, the band announced a two-year pause to work on their solo projects, however no new material has been published since.

That is, until now.

The surprising reunion announcement also revealed that a new N-Dubz's single - ‘Charmer’ - would be released on Thursday 19 May.

“Charmer is instantly recognisable as an N-Dubz song, featuring their trademark storytelling via the slick raps of Dappy and Fazer, alongside the sassy vocals of Tulisa,” a spokesperson for the group said.

The band wrote the song, which was produced by Rymez, who has previously worked with Stefflon Don, D Block Europe and Adekunle Gold.

It will air on BBC 1 Xtra on Thursday (19 May) evening, and will be released shortly following that first airing.

Where are they playing?

The Back To The Future tour will begin on 7 November in Newcastle, and finish in Manchester on Saturday 19 November.
