Grammy and Brit Winner, Mark Ronson is one of the most sought after producers in the industry. Having sold in excess of over one million albums in the UK alone with ‘Version’, Ronson has worked with some of the world’s biggest artists; Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Lily Allen and Christina Aguilera to name a few.
Said Ronson about the MTV Presents gig,
“From the Stiff Kitten to Tennant’s festival, we’ve played some of our favourite shows ever in Belfast. Mark Ronson & The Business INTL cannot wait to kick off their UK tour there on September 19th.”
Mark Ronson & The Business Intl are set to release the album ‘Record Collection’ on 27th September. One of this summer’s biggest hits, ‘Bang Bang Bang’ has already caused breathless anticipation amongst fans and media alike, having shot straight into the Top 5 in the UK charts. The new single ‘Bike Song’ will be out on 20th September.
MTVN UK and Belfast City Council, with the support of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board and Tourism Ireland, are working in close partnership to deliver the stand-out, free gig in the centre of Belfast to highlight the city’s musical heritage and bring MTV to Northern Ireland. The gig is the culmination of the council’s new Belfast Music Week, as Councillor Conor Maskey explained:
“Belfast’s music receives high international praise and our latest generation of musicians are playing a crucial role in revitalising the city. From 12 – 19 September, we will play host to more than 100 music events showcasing new bands, songwriters and DJs at Belfast Music Week. This is an art form that is defining the new mood of Belfast and our partnership with MTV will profile and promote Belfast’s reputation as the birthplace of exceptional music.”
After a great first 6 months, featuring the likes of Vampire Weekend, Marina and The Diamonds, Delphic, Tinie Tempah and more, the MTV Presents… shows are establishing themselves as essential live experiences for music fans.
