Giggs and Diddy are set to deliver a groundbreaking performance at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, come Tuesday, November 7th. This collaboration brings together two titans of the hip-hop and music world for a special one-night-only event, creating a ‘not to be missed’ experience for fans.

Giggs, one of the most influential, respected and original artists in music, joins forces with friend, collaborator and true cultural icon Diddy for this unique show. Fans attending will have the unique opportunity to choose their ticket price from a set range, with all proceeds being donated to an underserved charity to be announced. O2 Priority Presale begins today at 3pm, with general ticket sales starting at 10am on Wednesday, November 1st.

This isn’t the first time Giggs has put on a show for charity. On March 16th 2018 he took over the Roundhouse in Camden, for a memorable evening in aid of the Sickle Cell Society and the Amy Winehouse Foundation. 

The Shepherd’s Bush show will reunite Giggs and Diddy who previously collaborated on the single ‘Mandem,’ released on August 4th, marking 15 years since the release of Giggs’ influential debut album, “Walk In Da Park.”

‘Mandem’ is a highlight from Giggs’ new 18-track project, ‘Zero Tolerance,’ which features artists from both sides of the Atlantic, including Jadakiss, 21 Savage, Dave East, Popcaan, Potter Payper, and Tiny Boost. ‘Zero Tolerance’ marks Giggs’ return to the music scene, solidifying his status as a powerhouse in the British music industry.

‘Zero Tolerance’ is Giggs’ first full-length record since 2020’s ‘Now Or Never’ and finds the rapper returning to the stage stronger than ever with a record he’s described as an “instant classic.” In the fifteen years since ‘Walk In Da Park’ Giggs has become rightly regarded as one of the most pioneering, consistent, uncompromising and best loved British artists and the release of ‘Zero Tolerance,’ further cements his cultural importance on the global stage.

Giggs has also announced his first-ever headline show in the US at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City on December 6th, with tickets selling out in under 10 minutes.

For Diddy, this event marks another milestone in his illustrious career, highlighting his 30-year legacy in the industry and the enduring power and influence of Bad Boy Records. He celebrates his triumphant return to music with his latest number 1 album, 'The Love Album: Off the Grid,' under the LOVE RECORDS imprint.

The album showcases a spectacular array of talent and embodies Diddy’s belief in the power of collaboration, featuring an impressive lineup of R&B and musical titans.

Diddy’s music career includes numerous accolades, with 11 #1 hit songs, 3 Grammy Awards, and he has produced hundreds of songs as well as performed with the biggest names in music. His Bad Boy label has sold more than 400 million albums with their songs accumulating over 3 billion streams.

This concert promises to be a testament to Diddy’s and Giggs’ contributions to the world of music, bringing their impact to life on stage for a night of unforgettable performances.
