Man of the moment Mic Righteous has been added to the line-up of this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival, with the in-demand rapper proving to be a must see this summer.
The Margate MC is enjoying the success of his ‘Open Mic EP’, which has spawned hits such as ‘Ghost Town’ and latest single ‘Up All Night’. ‘Up All Night’ and its accompanying video have been playlisted on Q Radio, MTV Base, and played by legendary tastemaker Zane Lowe.
Mic’s mainstream breakthrough has been accompanied by some energetic live shows, with his passion on wax more than matched on stage. The ‘Open Mic EP’ launch party at Camden’s Barfly was sold-out well in advance of the February date, and tickets are selling fast for his birthday show on May 24th at The Garage, Islington.
The summer is capped by Mic taking to the 1Xtra Stage at the UK’s famous dual festival, with his Reading performance on Saturday 24th August followed by a Leeds show on Sunday 25th. He will be in the company of hip-hop acts with fellow critical and commercial acclaim, including Devlin, Giggs and Action Bronson.
