The rapper was due to tour after the anticipated September release of his debut solo, Bad Intentions, but with the record now set for release on 1st October, the September tour dates have been pushed back to December. All dates have already been rescheduled, except for Yeovil. All original tickets are still valid although refunds are also available from vendors.

With N-Dubz on hiatus and Tulisa busying herself with definitely not being involved in any private home video shenanigans, Dappy has been focusing on the things he's evidently best at - making urban music with grime and hip-hop accents and, well, being Dappy.

Refreshingly, Dappy does not fit the modern identikit profile of an UK rapper, not that he doesn't pack the attitude. If his look, not least the oversized chullo hats, is unconventional then so is his considerable talent.

With his last solo single 'Rockstar' peaking at No 2, following the earlier chart-topping success of debut hit, No Regrets, his third single Come With Me will be issued next month.

His debut solo record may well be a certain No 1 hit when it finally arrives but, for now, the wait will have to go on a little longer. The revised tour dates are below - we have tickets available now.

Ahead of the tour, you can catch Dappy at next month's V Festival dates in Chelmsford and Staffordshire.
