Sean Paul returns to the UK for exciting summer concerts: here's how to get tickets
It's No Lie, Jamaican rapper Sean Paul is coming to the UK to perform a string of shows in summer 2023. Here's how you can secure tickets today.
Some may call him a guilty pleasure, but on the RadioTimes.com team, we don't believe anything enjoyable can be guilty! And there's nothing we like more than singing along to a Sean Paul dancehall hit with our friends. The Jamaican rapper is on car trip, pre-drinks and running playlists worldwide; basically any soundtrack that puts you in a pumped-up mood, you'll find Paul on there.
Paul will be bringing the energy – and hopefully the Temperature, too – to the Brighton Centre and Bonus Arena in Hull this summer. These 2023 dates follow Paul's Scorcha tour, which saw the dancehall artist visit arenas UK-wide, enjoy a 2019 headline performance on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury, and perform a set at Capital's Summertime Ball in 2018 to an audience of over 80,000 fans.
With over 26 million records sold across eight studio albums, Paul has revolutionised dancehall music, taking the genre from its roots in Kingston, Jamaica and popularising it worldwide.
The 50-year-old's musical career kicked off back in the 1990s with his early noughties tunes Gimme the Light and Get Busy topping the Billboard Hot 100. Paul's second album, Dutty Rock, was then a worldwide success. With most of his albums being nominated for the Best Reggae Album at the Grammy Awards, it was Dutty Rock that secured Paul the award. It hit the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified double-platinum after selling over six million copies worldwide.
The Grammy Award-winner's third album, The Trinity, produced the sing-a-long smash hits Give It Up To Me, Temperature, Never Gonna Be the Same, Ever Blazin', and We Be Burnin'. The Trinity debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, breaking records for its week one sales for a dancehall artist.
As one of dancehall's most prolific artists, it's no surprise that Paul has had a multitude of hits both with his solo music and with collaborations. The song Rockabye with pop musician Anne-Marie spent nine consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and has been streamed 838 million times on Spotify (we like to think we've made a big contribution to that number...). Other notable collaborations include Baby Boy with Beyoncé, Cheap Thrills with Sia, and No Lie with British-Albanian singer Dua Lipa.
Paul's summer shows are sure to get you moving and grooving, and here's how you can secure general on sale tickets today.
