Oh man! In a day when hip-hop has become a parody of itself, turning into the black equivalent of misogynistic 80s poodle rock, it’s good to see Public Enemy coming along to remind us why the genre is so essential.
Public Enemy will be performing It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back around the UK in May. The LP is one of the most influential and essential cuts ever made in any genre, so book now as tickets are sure to sell out fast! Where can you go to witness “Don’t Believe The Hype” and “Rebel Without A Pause” performed live? Read over for details. What’s more is that the incredible Kool Keith will support. I’m-a-gonna faint…

23rd May 2008 - Brixton Academy (£27.50 plus booking fee)
26th May 2008 - Manchester Academy (£22 plus booking fee)
27th May 2008 - Glasgow ABC1 (£22.50 plus booking fee)
The nights will include support from Dr Octagon AKA Kool Keith + Kutmasta Kurt, Anti Pop Consortium and Edan + MC Dagha. Tickets go on sale 9am on Friday February 8th, with a pre-sale on Wednesday February 6th through the Public Enemy website.
