Lloyd Banks is set to play the indigO2 at the O2, London on 17th July. The event will be his first UK date since touring alongside 50 Cent in 2007, and his first ever high-profile UK solo show.

Support will come from some of the hottest names in the UK hip-hop scene, including Sway, Bashy and Wretch 32, plus surprise guests.

Currently working on his much-anticipated third album; the follow-up to 2006’s Rotten Apple, Lloyd Banks is reportedly being courted by several major labels after opting not to renew his two-album Interscope deal. Details of the album are scarce, but collaborators are reported to include Polow Da Don, Swizz Beatz and Just Blaze. Of the album, Banks says “I’m gonna get with the heavy-hitters and make something happen, make a classic album”.
