Artist, producer, designer and all-round star Griff will stop at Alexandra Palace in November 2024 as part of her vertigo World Tour.

The British singer-songwriter’s highly anticipated debut album vertigo (out 19 July via Warner Music) turns the tumultuousness of young adulthood into a source of power. Latest single Miss Me Too is a euphoric, existential banger about the little-discussed irony of losing confidence as you supposedly grow older and wiser. Throughout the record, the BRITs Rising Star winner draws on her sideways origin story, from her unorthodox Chinese-Jamaican outsider status growing up to launching an international music career from the confines of her bedroom. That tenacious, no-nonsense talent always wise beyond her years also sounds – crucially – like she is living: free of expectation, and moving through a world in which there is no one way to make your debut album or to be yourself.
