Ironik will treat fans to hits from his landmark debut album, ‘No Point In Wasting Tears’ – like the top 3 summer anthem – 'Tiny Dancer(Hold Me Closer)' and smash hit singles, 'Stay With Me' and 'I Wanna Be Your Man'. Manchester four piece Kid British will be blasting their ballsy blend of hip hop and club friendly beats live on these stages from their debut album ‘ It was this or Football’. MPHO’s gonna show us what she’s got onstage – highlights to include her debut single ‘Box ‘N Locks’. South East London’s very own ‘Sexy Beast’ Tinie Tempah will be taking to the stage to perform amongst other’s his storming ‘I’m Hot’ featuring M.I.A. This summer’s UK funky radio and club anthem ‘In The Morning’ is crossing over into the mainstream on Radio 1 and Kiss and will be an infectious live moment when Egypt does her thing. Championed by Tim Westwood and Pete Tong East London’s Mz Bratt will be pumping out her debut single ‘Who do you think you are?’. Aggro Santos will be opening at all the shows.

Phew is this not one hell of a line up?!!!!!

The Sun’s Bizarre Editor Gordon Smart said “Bizarre has been at the forefront of championing the brightest British urban talent around. Staging the Bizarre Presents The Brrrap Pack Tour will give these young chart conquering homegrown artists, like Chipmunk, Ironik and MPHO the chance to spread their positive message across the length and breadth of the UK. “

Chipmunk says ‘It's cool to see The Sun supporting young talented artists. Not just ones that have had chart success but also new up and coming artists. It's a great line up of British talent.

It's my first headline tour – wow, you can expect a night of entertainment, I love to bring something different to the stage and I love to get the audience involved. October is a very exciting month for me as the album is out and this tour is happening so expect me to perform tracks from the album too. I want to thank Bizarre who have been incredibly supportive and I jumped at the chance to be a part of this tour, see you there”.
