Standing out as one of the most iconic female artists over the past few decades, Mary J Blige has released countless albums and appeared on hundred of tracks, not to mention her nine Grammy awards picked up from a record breaking 30 nominations. 

In July, crowds will gather for her appearances along with special guests at 02 Apollo Manchester on Thursday 2nd July and the Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham on Friday 3rd July. There's also scope to see her in the festival spotlight at New Look Wireless taking place from 3-5 July. 

The R&B singer's most recent album, The London Sessions (above), featuring the likes of Sam Smith and Disclosure was received with as much praise as each one before it. 

Reaching into her immense vocal range to unleash that classic soul aesthetic and absorbing rap vocal she's revered for, expect Mary to channel songs old and new when she hits the UK as part of her extensive global tour.
