NEWPORT rap posse Goldie Lookin' Chain have announced their live return with a hometown performance in Newport next year.

The gang have announced a live show at Newport's Neon, their first time back at the venue for more than a decade, for February 24, 2018.

Known for classics such as Guns Don’t Kill People Rappers Do and Half Man Half Machine GLC started almost by accident around the turn of the century with Eggsy’s impromptu rap about his tracksuit over a serious piece of music Rhys was working on in the studio.

Adam Hussain, Billy Webb, Mystkal, the Maggot, 2hats and Mike Balls convinced Rhys to record the rap and fuelled by Lambrini, fags and Chicken Tikka Massala the legendary first album Don’t Blame the Chain was born.

The journey so far has seen the troupe rise to the top of the charts, perform around the world, play at every major festival in the Western hemisphere and make millions of people laugh along the way.

Now, many years since that first rap about Eggsy’s tracksuit, the boys are still keeping it real in the rap game, now with 18 albums under their belts.

Their homecoming gig at the Neon will open at 7.30pm for a 8pm start and will include special guests.

There is an age limit of 14 plus and under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Standing tickets in advance are priced at £12.
