Kano is set to make his hotly-anticipated return to NASS festival this year, as Sunday night’s headliner.

They join Saturday’s headline act, The Streets. Hailing from Birmingham, Mike Skinner is a producer, rapper, DJ, singer, writer and actor. The Streets gained widespread critical acclaim in 2002 with debut album Original Pirate Material, fast-becoming British rap royalty who notably changed the face of UK rap music for generations to come. With an arsenal of bangers including ‘Fit But You Know It’, ‘Blinded By The Lights’ and ‘Has It Come To This’, The Streets will bring an unforgettable headline set on Saturday night at NASS 2021.
