Get ready for Clipse in London. The American hip-hop group are performing in the capital, bringing their signature sound to the stage. The group will perform at London’s O2 Forum on 9, 12, and 13 November, and at Manchester’s Academy on 10 November. If you’d like to get your hands on tickets, here’s what you need to know.
Clipse consists of brothers Gene “Malice” Thornton and Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton. The pair were discovered by producer Pharrell Williams, who went on to become the executive and lead producer for their first two albums. In 2002, they released their debut album, Lord Willin’, which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200.
The group’s discography includes the albums Hell Hath No Fury, Let God Sort Em Out, and Til the Casket Drops. Notable singles include Cot Damn, Hot Damn, Grindin’, I’m Good, Virginia, and When the Last Time.
Their latest single, So Be It, features a sample from Saudi Arabian musician Talal Maddah’s song Maza Akoulo Wa Qad Himto. The track is taken from their latest album, Let God Sort Em Out, and was originally perceived as a diss track aimed at Ye and Travis Scott.

They will perform on 3 August in Boston, Massachusetts, at Roadrunner Boston; 5 August in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at Franklin Music Hall; 7 August in New York, New York, at Terminal 5; 8 August in Brooklyn, New York, at Brooklyn Steel; 9 August in Fairfax, Virginia, at EagleBank Arena and more.
