That’s right folks, MF DOOM will be playing live here in the UK in October 2010.  I don’t think I need to say much more to you other than book you tickets now!

This show will be featuring special guests, no idea who this will include but judging by Dooms acquaintances it will be someone who runs along side him in the stonesthrow label.

2010 shows:

Oct 13th – The Warehouse Project, Manchester
Oct 14th – O2 Academy Brixton, London
Oct 15th – Concorde 2, Brighton
Oct 16th – O2 Academy, Bristol

Here’s what they say:

Having spent years at the forefront of underground hip-hop, DOOM (previously MF Doom) will at last embark on a debut UK tour this October.  The DOOMSDAY tour will feature DOOM’s first ever shows outside of London and are a rare chance to catch the mask-wearing maverick in action.

DOOM’s various and ongoing musical escapades include output as alternative alter-egos King Geedorah, Metal Fingers and Viktor Vaughan, in addition to co-creations with Madlib (as ‘Madvillain’), Danger Mouse (as ‘DangerDOOM’), and a cameo on the Gorillaz multi-million selling Demon Days LP.  The rapper and producer’s most recent studio album, Born Like This, is a tour de force of thrillingly intricate, diabolically original songwriting and has been hailed as one of the essential hip-hop LPs of recent years.
