Hip-hop superstars N-Dubz will perform at Rochester's Castle
Concerts this summer.

The trio, Tulisa Contostavlos, her cousin Dino "Dappy"
Contostavlos, and childhood friend Richard "Fazer" Rawson, will
take the stage on Friday, July 15.

The group have sold more than 1.2 million copies of their 2008

debut album Uncle B and its 2009 follow-up, Against All Odds.

Between them, the three wrote, produced, mixed, mastered and

engineered both albums in their entirety.

They have amassed a huge fan base, with 100 million views on
YouTube, 680,000 friends on Facebook and 150,000 followers on
Twitter.

Also highly acclaimed within the music industry, they already
have four Mobo awards and a Brit nomination to their name.

They have released a bestselling book, Against All Odds: From
Street Life To Chart Life, and starred in the Channel 4 reality
series Being N-Dubz.

Last year their tour schedule included critically acclaimed
performances at Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight Festival, the Royal
Albert Hall and Wembley Arena.

This year, the group will be fitting their visit to Rochester
around their first UK arena tour and an appearance at the V
Festival.
