This will be his sixth studio album and a significant mark in his discography, as it represents the end of his remarkable journey in the music industry. Alongside the album announcement, he revealed plans for his last-ever headline show, scheduled for November 27, 2024, at London’s renowned O2 Arena.

His music has accumulated over 100 million global streams, with his most recent project, Crop Circle 2, becoming the most-streamed British album in its debut week last year. To commemorate his influential career, Nines received multiple accolades at the 2020 MOBO Awards, including Best Album of the Year.
