Vince Staples has announced a London show at 26 Leake Street on September 4, days after his scheduled appearance at All Points East. Tickets go on sale at 10am on August 12.

The date follows his latest album, Cry Baby, released earlier this summer to a five-star review from DIY Magazine, which said there may not be a more gripping or impactful rap album all year.

Staples plays All Points East in Victoria Park on August 28 alongside Turnstile, Jean Dawson and Clipse, under headliner Tyler, The Creator.

The London club date and festival slot both join hip-hop's busiest late-summer stretch on the tour guide and the festival tracker.
