International hip hop legends The Lox are set to celebrate 30 years in the game with style, as they head to Manchester Academy on Saturday 17th May 2025. Sheek Louch, Styles P, and Jadakiss will bring their catalogue of classics to the North West this spring in a show packed with classic tunes to rewind the years, courtesy of Geestar Empire. 

The show will follow their headline performance at Indigo at the O2 on Friday, May 16th, where they played last year to celebrate 50 years of hip hop. Formed in Yonkers, New York, The Lox first hit the airwaves in 1997 and haven't looked back since their single ‘It’s All About The Benjamins’ went platinum. 

The Lox are locked, loaded, and ready to go this May, and hip hop fans are in for a treat celebrating three decades of the classic trio. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 5th February, so don’t take your eyes off Skiddle until then.
