Nadia Gollings, General Manager at Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “Plan B is a marvellous booking and we know that many thousands of his fans will be keen to snap up tickets for the concert on Friday, June 1.

“Jockey Club Live concerts are now hugely popular annual events in Lincolnshire – with racing and music fans eagerly anticipating the announcement of our acts every year.

Tickets start at £30 for adults, with limited tickets for under 18s at £20.

The BRIT Award winner, cultural commentator, critically acclaimed director and actor, and musical maverick Plan B (Ben Drew) will be gracing the green for some of his first UK summer shows in 4 years.

His sophomore album, The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, achieved quadruple-platinum status, selling over 1.4 million copies in the UK alone, and hit the #1 album spot on release.

It saw him win both a BRIT and three Ivor Novello Awards.

Following this, his 2012 directorial debut (and accompanying album) iLLManors saw him smashing boundaries with his creative style of overlapping stories and interweaving rap-narrative, boldly addressing socio-political issues with his often brutal cultural commentary, seeing Ben nominated for his fifth BRIT Award, nominated for his first Mercury Music prize, and once again hitting #1 in the UK album chart.

He will be releasing his eagerly anticipated fourth album ‘Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose’ on April 14, via Atlantic Records.

Plan B said: “Excited to announce I’m headlining Market Rasen Racecourse this summer.

“Looking forward to playing songs from the new album.”
