Sean Paul to perform in Coventry this summer

Sean Paul performed at a sellout show in Coventry six years ago

Grammy award winning artist Sean Paul will perform live in Coventry later this year.

The dancehall star will appear at Coventry Building Society Arena's indoor arena on 9 July, following a sellout show at the venue in 2018.

His grandmother was born in the city and he still has some extended family in Warwickshire.

During the previous performance, that attracted more than 6,000 people, he welcomed an aunt onto the stage and performed Rockabye in tribute to his mother and grandmother.

The Jamaican, whose hits include Gimme the Light, Get Busy, Temperature and No Lie, has worked with stars such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Dua Lipa, David Guetta and Fuse ODG.

Coventry Building Society Arena managing director Paul Michael said Sean Paul's music "has stood the test of time and you are still likely to hear one of his tracks at any party, bar or club night".

He added: "This is a global star that has a real connection to Coventry and Warwickshire, so it is set to be another very special night."

The venue will also be hosting Bryan Adams at the indoor arena on 17 May.
