Stormzy to headline Emirates Dubai 7s

British grime artist Stormzy has been announced as the headline act at the Emirates Dubai 7s, at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai.

The rapper will take to the stage on Sunday December 1, and is expected to perform hits such as 'Big for your Boots', 'Shut Up' and 'Vossi Bop'.

The announcement ends speculation over who the headline act would be, after Dubai 7s teased the artist with cryptic social media posts earlier this month. 

Fans will also have the opportunity to watch Stormzy play in a mini padel tournament too, as he takes to the court on Saturday, November 30.

Stormzy's three albums have each reached number one in the UK album chart, with the former two subsequently being nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

The Emirates Dubai 7s takes place from Friday November 29 until Monday December 2.
