Stormzy will be playing a hometown show in Croydon, we can exclusively reveal.

The Thornton Heath grime artist, real name Michael Omari, is playing a string of dates across the country on his Live in the Flesh tour in October.

Koko in Camden is the closest venue to Croydon so last night we tweeted him to ask when he was going to put on a show for fans here.

He replied: "I'm gonna do a special hometown show soon."

It is not yet known when this show will be but eager fans hope they will not have to wait until October for the man who won Best Grime Act at the 2014 MOBO Awards.
