tickets are on sale tomorrow

news: Thursday 14th July 2011

'I Need A Dollar', soul act Aloe Blacc has announced details of an extensive UK headline tour this winter following the sell out success of his appearances at sell-out headline dates at London's Somerset House, Scala and Jazz Café and sets at Glastonbury and other festivals.

Blacc famously wrote 'I Need A Dollar' following a redundancy from his then-job, during which he still gigged furiously as an MC, searching for a break. The track is already nearing 400,000 sales in the UK, has picked up over 13 million Youtube hits for the official video, and was recently nominated for a Mojo Award for Best Song. With a Top 10 album, 'Good Things, also under his belt, Blacc has now emerged as one of the year’s most in-demand new acts.

His tour dates are as follows:

Sat 03 December HMV Institute, Birmingham
Sun 04 December O2 Academy, Leeds
Mon 05 December Rock City, Nottingham
Wed 07 December Manchester Academy, Manchester
Thu 08 December O2 Academy, Newcastle upon Tyne
Fri 09 December The Plug, Sheffield
Sun 11 December O2 Academy, Liverpool
Mon 12 December O2 ABC, Glasgow
Wed 14 December O2 Academy, Bristol
Thu 15 December HMV Hammersmith Apollo, London
Fri 16 December Brighton Dome, Brighton

Tickets for these shows are priced at £15.50 and go on sale at 9am Friday 15th July, and eGigs will have links to buy them then.
