Stormzy is the latest confirmation for the third day of NOS Alive, July 8, 2022.
The artist, which is one of UK’s most inspiring and influential cultural figures, will debut on the NOS Stage at the 14th edition of the festival, which takes place at Passeio Marítimo de Algés, on July 6, 7, 8 and 9 of 2022.
Known for evolving the underground musical landscape, Stormzy is a true spokesman of black empowerment and social activism and his latest album Heavy is The Head has become his second consecutive No.1 album in the UK Official Charts and has since achieved over 1 billion global streams.
In July 2018, Stormzy announced #Merky Books, an imprint within Penguin Random House UK, dedicated to publishing the best new fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and in August 2018 he announced ‘The Stormzy Scholarship’, an annual studentship to fund two black British students to go to the University of Cambridge. In addition, in June last year, Stormzy announced that he will pledge 10 million pounds, over 10 years, to organisations, charities and movements that are committed to fighting racial inequality, justice reform and black empowerment within the UK.
Building momentum with impassioned support from his devoted fan base, Stormzy is now the proud possessor of over 45 awards. The Croydon-born MC has also broken records in the live sphere and in 2019 became the first British rapper to ever headline Glastonbury Festival, one of the world’s biggest music festivals heading now to NOS Alive.
On July 8, it’s Stormzy’s turn to make his debut on the NOS Stage of NOS Alive, joining the already confirmed Metallica and Royal Blood. Tickets are already on sale here.
