EXAMPLE KICKSTARTS 2022 WITH TOUR



We love hearing from our friend Example and we can’t wait to have a wild time with him in January 2022 when he Kickstarts his new tour. 

 The ever exciting singer and platinum selling chart-topper who we meet up with regularly when he’s in Scotland has today announced a highly anticipated UK wide tour after a hiatus, hitting major UK cities including Leeds, London and Manchester as well as Bristol and Glasgow in January 2022. 

On the brink of releasing his 8th studio album, the homegrown legend in the scene and triple-threat singer, rapper and producer Example is back to re-live both his old and new hits with fans on a 14 date tour in February, available here! www.trythisforexample.com
 
A UK festival favourite, Example’s career is soaked in accolades, in 2011 his 3rd studio album “Playing in the Shadows” peaked at #1 in the UK charts and two of the singles off that album ‘Stay Awake’ & ‘Changed the Way You Kissed Me’ also went to #1. Armed with his brand new single ‘Every Single Time’ ft What So Not and Lucy Lucy and having just hosted his own stage at Creamfields, his trademark vocal over blissful production is to be embodied live next year, hitting UK stages again. His earlier discography reminiscent of the nostalgia from the EDM uprising in the 2010’s, the tour represents Example’s evolution through his sonic journey bridging the gap between pop, rap and electro, as he now revisits major UK cities post pandemic. Example’s inescapable anthems have seen him collaborate with fellow global stars Calvin Harris, Professor Green, Wretch 32, Giggs, Pet Shop Boys, Skream and many more.
