Mark Ronson

It has been confirmed that three times Grammy award winning producer and cover artist Mark Ronson is to support hip-hop star Jay-Z at this summer’s gig at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC). The gig will take place on Monday 21, July 2008 in the Press and Journal Arena.

“It was great to announce such a major name in the world of music when we confirmed Jay-Z was coming to the venue” says Clark Milloy, Managing Director, AECC. “To announce another internationally acclaimed artist at the same event is a bonus and it should be a fantastic evening for ticket holders”.

English-American, Mark Ronson became a household name following the release of his critically acclaimed second album ‘Version’ in April 2007, which included top ten hits such as ‘Stop me’, ‘Valarie’ and ‘Oh My God’. The album features collaborations alongside the likes of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen and covers of Radiohead and the Kaiser Chiefs. Its success has earned him the first ever Brit Award to be won by someone who doesn’t sing on the recording.

Tickets for Jay-Z plus support from Mark Ronson are on sale now. Tickets cost £32.50 + booking fee and are available from Ticketmaster on 08444 77 9000 or online at www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
