Get tickets from Derricks Records: Arrested Development – Derrick’s Music

Arrested Development – The Legacy In Motion Tour 26–27 Hip-hop pioneers Arrested Development bring The Legacy In Motion Tour to Sin City Swansea on Sunday 6th September 2026. Few groups have left a mark on hip-hop quite like Arrested Development. Formed in Atlanta in 1988, the Grammy Award-winning collective exploded onto the scene with their multi-platinum debut album 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of…, becoming the first hip-hop act in history to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Blending hip-hop with soul, funk, blues and African-inspired rhythms, their uplifting, socially conscious sound helped redefine the genre and produced some of the biggest tracks of the 1990s. Expect to hear timeless classics including Tennessee, People Everyday and Mr. Wendal, alongside favourites from a career spanning more than three decades. Still led by founding member Speech, Arrested Development continue to captivate audiences around the world with a live show that is every bit as energetic, inspiring and relevant as when they first burst onto the international stage. Whether you grew up with their music or you’re discovering them for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of hip-hop’s most influential groups live in an intimate venue.

“We think we’re the oldest record shop in the UK that remains in the same family,” Christy Stylianou of Swansea’s Derricks Music told me, adding that the shop is named after uncle Derrick Evans, who died in the early 1980s. The shop caters for lovers of all genres, and for all ages (including the grandchildren of original customers). Derricks is a big supporter of buying new vinyl as “this will keep the record companies willing to keep the whole thing going”, says Christy.
