Childish Gambino confirms plans for Dublin show

American rapper Childish Gambino treads Irish soil for the first time on August 17 when he plays The Academy, Dublin. Tickets go on sale on Saturday May 5 priced €33.50.

When not dropping rhymes, Gambino is Donald Glover, an actor-writer whose credits include 30 Rock, The Muppets and Community.

He’ll be plugging Camp, 2011’s gospel flavoured hip hop feast, which cracked the American top 20 and won him a cult following on this side of the pond too.
