Slowthai has announced the UK / European leg of his 2023 UGLY tour, which will see the rapper accompanied by a full band for the first time.

Prior to the jaunt, Slowthai is setting off on a intimate UK pub tour, with tickets available for just £1. The run kicked off yesterday on February 23, and will come to an end on March 3 in his hometown of Northampton. Meanwhile, the musician will be making stops in Blackpool, Milton Keynes, London and Bath.

So far from the new record, the rapper has shared I Know Nothing, Selfish and Feel Good, the latter of which was accompanied by a music video which features Slowthai surprising fans by showing up unexpectedly in their bedrooms.

Featuring additional vocals from London rapper Shygirl, Feel Good is described as "a mantra to chant with a bounce to stir your bones, wake your mind and get you back on track with living (and loving) your life."
