Win tickets to see N*E*R*D* at the Academy

Nearly two years since the release of their last album Seeing Sounds, N*E*R*D* are back with two UK live dates this summer. Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shae Haley will be playing shows in London and Manchester this June.

“The Neptunes is what we do, but N*E*R*D* is who we are. It’s our life” said front man Pharrell Williams, prior to the release of their first album In Search Of back in 2000.

You already know the story of the Neptunes. World-famous producers and songwriters, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, over the course of their decade-long career, have literally changed the course of music.

They have worked with everyone from Madonna and Justin Timberlake to Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani; from Britney Spears and Busta Rhymes to Kelis and Nelly. But N*E*R*D* are not the Neptunes, and the Neptunes are not N*E*R*D*.

“The Neptunes is what we do, but N*E*R*D* is who we are. It’s our life” said front man Pharrell Williams, prior to the release of their first album In Search Of back in 2000.

N*E*R*D* will soon be releasing their fourth studio album Nothing later this year following the success of its predecessors In Search Of, Fly Or Die and Seeing Sounds.

Tickets to their comeback concert at Manchester Academy on Wednesday 23 June cost £25 and can be purchased from www.gigsandtours.com or by calling 0871 2200 260.
