In other news… It’s been reported that X-Factor reject Gamu Nhengu will appear on stage to sing alongside boy band JLS.
The MOBO Tour is set to hit six of the UK’s hottest cities in October. The tour will be headlined by DJ and Boy Better Know frontman, Skepta.

Mobo founder, Kanya King said: “MOBO is proud to be partnering with PRS for Music Foundation, Arts Council England and Urban Development to present this tour which champions emerging talent. It is difficult for rising stars to find […]
