Aloe Blacc has followed-up the success of his recent crossover single, 'I Need A Dollar', with the announcement of an extensive UK headline tour this winter.

Notching-up almost 400,000 UK sales to date, the track has also received over 13 million YouTube hits for its official video and has received a nomination for a Mojo Award for Best Song. With a Top 10 album, ‘Good Things’, also under his belt, Blacc has emerged as one of the year’s most in-demand new artists.
