Politically charged Sri Lankan artist M.I.A. has confirmed she will be playing a one-off London gig at the Roundhouse in Camden on July 1st.

The show will follow the singer’s US tour in April and May, which includes appearances at both Coachella and Bonnaroo festivals.

M.I.A. recently followed the success of last year’s album ‘Kala’ with the EP ‘Paper Planes’, the name of which reportedly refers to international currency as well as being a term for international immigrants.
