A late 2000s pop icon is set to come to Southampton for an event celebrating the music of the noughties.

Tinchy Stryder will play Engine Rooms on January 31, 2026, as he is set to headline the Noughty Disco UV Party.

The rapper has had two UK number one hits, including "Never Leave You" featuring Amelle Berrabah.

His other number one was the aptly named "Number 1" alongside N-Dubz, which was certified double platinum by the BPI.

The 38-year-old has released three studios albums - his second named "Catch 22" peaked at second in the album charts.

The Engine Rooms performance is currently scheduled to be Tinchy's first performance of 2026.

The UV Party itself promises to bring hits from legends like 50 Cent, Daft Punk, Basshunter, Oasis, Usher, OutKast and more.

An advertisement for the event said: "2000’s early anthems and vibes, a night of memories.

"Dress to impress in your best noughties style."
