Grammy nominated rapper J.I.D is returning to Dublin

J.I.D is returning to Dublin this summer for his European tour, scheduling a concert on Sunday July 16th at 3Olympia Theatre.

The forthcoming tour also features guest artists EARTHGANG, as the Grammy nominated artist performs his third album The Forever Story live.

The album highlights J.I.D’s successful career so far after his breakout hit with his 2015 EP DiCaprio. The singer then performed with the hip-hop duo EARTHGANG, where he was discovered and signed by J. Cole's Dreamville Records.

J.I.D then went on to release two successful projects with his first album The Never Story (2017) and his follow up to his original EP with DiCaprio 2 (2018). DiCaprio 2 was such a success for the musician that he joined the year’s XXL’s Freshmen class and he received major critical acclaim for the production.

Revenge of the Dreamers III, the Platinum certified collection from Dreamville, was a major success as well for J.I.D. and the project received multiple Grammy nominations, with the highlights being “Best Rap Album” and “Best Rap Performance.” The compilation also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts.

The artist’s known performance style allowed him to dominate various venues and spaces as he toured his music across the US and internationally. J.I.D's headline show at the Academy was upgraded because of the artist's popularity with Irish audiences.

With the release of his critically acclaimed 2022 album The Forever Story, J.I.D was invited to perform on NPR's popular Tiny Desk Concerts.

The Forever Story includes 16 thrilling tracks, including the popular “2007” outro with J. Cole. The project was executive produced by Christo, a DJ and longtime partner of J.I.D, and the production allowed for the artist’s prose to be combined with his personality in a compelling album. J.I.D’s sold out tour “Luv Is 4Ever” saw the artist perform the popular hits live.

Tickets for the rapper's European tour go on sale Friday 24 March at 10am and tickets are €36.50 including booking fees.
