Spotify Announces 'WhoWeBe' Live Music Event in the U.K. as Apple Ends Its Annual Music Festival

Spotify has announced a 'WhoWeBe' live music event in the U.K. featuring artists from the country's #1 Hip Hop & Grime playlist. The concert will be held November 30th, 2017 at the Alexandra Palace.

The event comes just after Apple confirmed it will be canceling its popular music festival in the U.K. after 10 years.

Here's the lineup for WhoWebe:


● Bugzy Malone
Bugzy’s debut EP, “Walk with Me”, reached number 8 on the UK albums chart and since then his output of work has been prolific. 2016 saw a second EP release and his latest EP, “King Of The North”, which dropped in July 2017, reached number 4 in the UK albums chart.

Early in 2017 she signed with Atlantic Records, following the success of her mixtape series “Gangsta Bitch Music” and solo singles “Cheap Ass Weave,” “Foreva” and “Wash Poppin’”. Her single “Bodak Yellow” dropped in June 2017 and has since racked up 52 million streams on Spotify.

● Dizzee Rascal
Since his Mercury Prize winning debut, “Boy In Da Corner,” Dizzee has released five albums including the platinum selling “Tongue ‘N’ Cheek”. Dizzee’s solo work has clocked up almost 200 million streams on Spotify and his sixth studio album, “Raskit”, released this summer, sees him return to the hardcore sound of his early work.
