John Legend & The Roots Announce First UK Show Together & Tickets

Musical powerhouses John Legend & The Roots have announced their first ever UK Show together at HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London on November 27th.

The upcoming album 'Wake Up' is being released on October 18th and will feature soulful music from the 60’s and 70’s all with an underlying theme of awareness, engagement and consciousness — effectively telling listeners to Wake Up!
 
After being inspired by the recent historical Presidential election campaign of 2008, the R&B singer Legend and hip-hop band The Roots felt a need to enter the action. What started as plans for a single quickly developed into a passionate album representing change, hope and activism— not only referencing one particular moment in time, but on a larger scale, holding true no matter what the political climate may be.
 
Bringing John Legend & The Roots together is an inspired pairing, so logical that it’s a little surprising they haven’t teamed up in a proper collaboration before. John Legend is a six-time Grammy winner whose three albums have all hit Number One on the Billboard  R’n’B charts, and have sold over 600,000 copies in the UK alone. He has previously collaborated with such artists as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, and the Black Eyed Peas. The Roots — currently visible nightly as the stupendously versatile house band on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' — have released nine acclaimed studio albums (including the recent 'How I Got Over') and redefined the relationship between live instruments and hip-hop.

John Legend & The Roots will play their first UK show together on November 27th and London's Hammersmith Apollo.

Tickets for John Legend & The Roots are onsale from 9am on October 15th.
