Kelis heads for Digbeth

Milkshakin’ pop sensation Kelis has announced details of an autumn appearance in Birmingham.

The R n B star, behind hits including Milkshake and the recent remix-friendly smash Acapella, will appear at the as-yet-unopened HMV Institute in Digbeth on October 5.

The date has been added to just a handful of UK appearances, which so far include London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on October 1, the Warehouse Project in Manchester on October 2 and Glasgow’s ABC on October 4.

The tour follows on from a successful Glastonbury appearance in the packed out dance tent and will include hits from latest album Flesh Tone along with other favourites.

The 30-year-old New Yorker first shot to prominence in 1999 with the top five single Caught Out There, going on to win BRIT, NME and Q awards and later winning a Grammy-nomination for Milkshake.

Tickets for the Birmingham show are £20 and on sale now from here.
