English rapper Loyle Carner is due to make a welcome return to Dublin for a gig at The Grand Social on April 27th 2019 next year.
Tickets are currently on a pre-sale from the artist’s site and general sale on Friday morning at 9am. Ticket link.
Loyle Carner dropped a new song ‘Ottolenghi’ feat. Jordan Rakei last week and all. And yes, it’s a song inspired by chef Yotam Ottolenghi who features in the video.
The song came to life when Loyle was quizzed by a family on a commuter train about the “Bible” he was reading, which was in fact the aforementioned chef’s cookbook ‘Jerusalem’.
