Lloyd

R&B singer Lloyd brings two decades of melodic storytelling to O2 Ritz Manchester on 11 June 2026. Raised between New Orleans and Decatur, he first surfaced with the teen group N-Toon, then went solo with The Inc. His debut Southside, the duet with Ashanti, set the tone: smooth vocals, romantic writing and a blend of ballads, mid-tempos and a hip-hop edge. Street Love pushed him further with You alongside Lil Wayne and Get It Shawty, followed by Lessons in Love and the sleeker King of Hearts. He also marked the late-2000s crossover moment with Young Money’s BedRock.

After a quieter spell, Lloyd returned on his own terms with Tru, a stripped, reflective single that led to an album of the same name, leaning into a more intimate register without losing his ear for hooks. On stage, expect that elastic tenor up front, arrangements that slide from candlelit slow jams to head-nod grooves, and a set that threads the early hits with newer material. It’s a snapshot of his path from 2000s radio mainstay to a more personal R&B, delivered with restraint and clarity in Manchester.
