Stormzy Announces Third Album Will Arrive In 2022
Stormzy has confirmed that his third studio album will arrive this year.
The Croydon MC made the announcement during the first show of his 2022 UK and Ireland arena tour, at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff last night, Sunday, 13 March. At one point in the gig, the crowd saw a video consisting of studio shots of Stormzy recording the upcoming LP.
At the end of the footage, the following message was displayed onscreen: “Album 3. Coming 2022.”
According to a press release, pre-orders for the as-yet-untitled album are “obtainable first for those attending the UK leg of Stormzy’s ‘Heavy Is The Head’ tour; a personal gesture of gratitude to his loyal and supportive fans who have waited almost two years for the UK shows.”
Fans at the gigs can pre-order the CD format of the record via official merchandise stands at the venues. Those that do so will receive a QR coded lanyard and the option to buy a limited edition t-shirt.
Stormzy’s second full-length album, Heavy Is The Head, came out in December 2019.
His current ‘H.I.T.H World Tour’ continues in Newcastle tomorrow night (March 15) with shows following in Leeds (16), Sheffield (18), Manchester (19) and other cities throughout the month and into April.
