As the hottest new kid on the London 'grime' block, Kano was due to make his live debut in Dublin's Crawdaddy venue on April 22.

The bad news is that the gig has undergone a rescheduling of sorts, and Kano will appear the following night, April 23, at the Red Box (adjacent to Crawdaddy).

The good news for ticketholders - indeed lovers of old school hip hop the town over - is that he will be sharing the limelight with legendary DJ Afrika Bambaataa.

Tickets for what is sure to be a top notch evening cost €20, with people holding Kano tickets asked to pay a €5 admission supplement at the door.
