More Information

50 Cent born Curtis James Jackson III is an award-winning rapper entrepreneur actor and producer from Queens New York. Recognized as one of the most talented and prolific music artists of his time, the Grammy Award winner rose to fame with his record-shattering debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He has since sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and been awarded numerous prestigious accolades.

Jackson has leveraged his star power to cross over with unparalleled success as an entrepreneur actor and producer. From Get Rich or Die Tryin' being one of the fastest selling albums in history to creating one of the most influential deals in hip-hop with the sale of Vitaminwater, Jackson continues to break records.

Jackson has also carved out a thriving television and film career as both a best-in-class producer and star. In 2005, he founded G-Unit Film & Television, Inc. which has produced a wide variety of content across numerous platforms and sold a myriad of shows to various networks. Among these is the critically acclaimed #1 show on Starz, “Power,” in which he not only co-starred in but also served as executive producer and director. He has successfully focused on expanding the “Power” universe with spin-offs ‘’Power Book II: Ghost,’’ “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” and “Power Book IV: Force.”

In 2023, Jackson expanded into the podcast space through his G-Unit Audio banner with the debut of Surviving El Chapo: The Twins Who Brought Down a Drug Lord in partnership with iHeart Media and Lionsgate Sound. The exceptional businessman also serves as CEO of G-Unit Records, which he founded in 2003, and has since signed a host of multi-platinum artists. He continues to extend his brand which encompasses a broad spectrum of businesses including Sire Spirits, which Jackson formed in 2016, a luxury Wine and Spirits company that owns Le Chemin du Roi Champagne and Branson Cognac.

The Final Lap Tour: Get Rich or Die Tryin' receives additional UK dates

50 Cent announces additional UK dates for Glasgow's OVO Hyrdro and London's O2. Tickets are available for these additional dates at 9am on Friday 14 July.

The Final Lap Tour celebrates the rapper's debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' . Featuring appearances from Eminem amongst other artists, the 2003 album became the highest grossing album in the US that year. Twenty years later, 50 Cent celebrates two decades since the album's debut.

The gangsta rap album included several songs including 'In Da Club' which catered to general audiences, making the album accessible. Dr. Dre criticised '21 Questions' for being too left field from gangsta rap, but 50 Cent defended the slow-tempo song. When the song was released as a single, '21 Questions' remained on the charts for several weeks.

In addition to being an internationally renown rapper, 50 Cent has featured in a number of television shows, movies, and videogames including Robot Chicken , Den of Thieves , and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 . Founding the G-Unit Film and Television Inc., the production company is currently filming Den of Thieves 2 .

Recent tour reviews

Just went to his concert yesterday in Milan, and it is a must see. The effects, the lights, the backgrounds and the crowd all contribute in making this concert magical. 50 still has an amazing even in his late 40s.

Report as inappropriate

After seeing 50 cent guest appearance at an Eminem concert a couple of months ago I was really excited about 50 having his own concert over in the U.K. and had to book it . The night started off with lethal bizzle and he was great gave the crowd a good show then we waited for 50 and g unit 50 was amazing throughout as were g unit all in all was a great night could ov been longer but still walked away happy would definitely pay to see 50 again no question .

It was billed as the 15 year anniversary of the Get Rich Or Die Trying album so was expecting him to play pretty much every track from it but instead he played 30 seconds of a track and then cut it short. He played more of the Uncle Murda and Tony Yayo songs than those on his own album meant to be for this tour.

He was only on for 55 minutes and the crowd booed at the end. Paid £68 for 55 minutes which is an absolute rip off.

Fontaines D.C. announce huge 2024 UK and Ireland headline tour 

The dates come ahead of their upcoming album ‘Romance’

Fontaines D.C. have announced details of a huge UK and Ireland tour, set to kick off later this year. Find ticket details below.

• READ MORE: Fontaines D.C.’s daring comeback single ‘Starburster’ is their most experimental work yet

Announced today (Friday, April 19), the new dates arrive in celebration of the band’s upcoming album, ‘Romance’ .

Grian Chatten and co. shared news of their fourth LP earlier this week, dropping the pummelling new single ‘Starburster’ and confirming that it will be arriving later this August.

Produced by James Ford ( Arctic Monkeys , Foals , Depeche Mode ), the release will mark the follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed ‘ Skinty Fia ‘ and will be shared via XL Recordings. Visit here to pre-order it.

The new tour dates are set to take place across the latter half of 2024, and kick off on November 20 with an opening night at The Halls venue in Wolverhampton. From there, the tour will continue with a gig at Alexandra Palace in London two days later.

Shows in Cardiff, Plymouth, Nottingham and Manchester are lined up for the remainder of the month, and the final three shows will take place during the first week of December.

The December shows include a gig at First Direct Arena in Leeds (3), Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena (4), and finally, a stop at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 6.

Recommended

Support for all dates will come from Sorry , and DIIV will also be joining the Irish band for the gig at Alexandra Palace.

Tickets go on sale next Friday (April 26) at 10am and will be available here . Fans who pre-order the album by 3pm on April 23 will also have access to pre-sale tickets. Check out a full list of new tour dates below.

Fontaines D.C. upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates are:

NOVEMBER 20 – Wolverhampton – The Halls 22 – London – Alexandra Palace 24 – Cardiff – Utilita Arena 26 – Plymouth – Pavilions 27 – Nottingham – Motorpoint Arena 29 – Manchester – Aviva Studios

DECEMBER 3 – Leeds – First Direct Arena 4 – Glasgow – OVO Hydro 6 – Dublin – 3Arena

The 9-date tour through November and December will follow a summer of extensive festival shows for Fontaines D.C., which includes performances at Glastonbury , Reading & Leeds , Fuji Rock, Pukkelpop Festival, and more.

The announcement of ‘Romance’ also came with the release of lead single, ‘Starburster’ – a song inspired by frontman Grian Chatten suffering a panic attack and accompanied by a sinister and cinematic video directed by Aube Perrie ( Megan Thee Stallion , Harry Styles , The Hives ).

Reviewing the track, NME noted how the band had “taken a perfect left turn” , adding: “Leaning on the Massive Attack trip-hop noir vibes first hinted at on ‘Skinty Fia’’s title track, ‘Starburster’ is a pensive art-rock beast that fuses elements of electronica and hip-hop more akin to their fellow striking countrymen (and recent collaborators ) KNEECAP .

“Bravado meets psychedelia as the frontman says he’s ‘over harder than a turned up challenger’ and ‘the pig on the Chinese calendar’.” it added. “The video, too – a fever dream of blood, animals and a cast of misfits trying to find their way – further supports their referencing of Shygirl and Sega Bodega as key inspirations.”

Speaking about the title of the album, bassist Conor Deegan said: “We’ve always had this sense of idealism and romance. Each album gets further away from observing that through the lens of Ireland, as directly as ‘ Dogrel ‘. The second album (‘ A Hero’s Death ‘) is about that detachment, and the third is about Irishness dislocated in the diaspora. Now we look to where and what else there is to be romantic about.”

He added: “This record is about deciding what’s fantasy – the tangible world, or where you go in your mind. What represents reality more? That feels almost spiritual for us.”

Since their third album, ‘Skinty Fia’, Fontaines D.C. have also covered Nick Drake’s ‘Cello Song’ for a compilation album .

In December, the band teamed up with Massive Attack and Young Fathers to announce the release of a limited edition 12” single to support Médecins Sans Frontières in their relief efforts in Gaza. The ‘Ceasefire’ EP will arrive on June 1.
