Loyle Carner has announced his biggest ever headline show at the 10,000-capacity Alexandra Palace.

The south London rapper will visit the capital at the end of a newly announced UK and Ireland tour, confirmed to take place across October and November this year.

It is set to cap what has been a big year for Carner. In April, he released his second studio album Not Waving, but Drowning, which featured Jorja Smith, Sampha and Jordan Rakei. It climbed to number three in the UK charts, and came before a slot on the Other Stage at Glastonbury festival.

His debut album, Yesterday’s Gone, dropped in 2017 and was nominated for a Mercury Prize. He has continued to gain plaudits since then, with introspective lyrics and a calm but precise flow.

He’s also proved himself a dab culinary hand, collaborating with Yard Sale to release his own pizza, as well as helming Chilli Con Carner, a cooking school for teenagers with ADHD.
