‘The frontman of seminal hip-hop group Run-DMC, Rev has sold tens of millions of records worldwide and is widely credited for ushering rap music into mainstream culture.

‘An inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Run-DMC was named the greatest hip-hop artist of all-time by both MTV and VH1.

‘Together, Rev and Ruckus have performed throughout Europe, at the Super Bowl, Cannes Film Festival, Oscars, and Grammys.

‘Do not miss this epic show for anything.’
