We’re thrilled to announce that Legendary American rapper, songwriter, and record producer The D.O.C will be attending our opening home game of the 2025/26 National League North season against Spennymoor Town at the Neuven Stadium.

He will be hosting the official After Party in the Pickford Suite following the full-time whistle, with a DJ playing all of your favourite tunes long into the night. A meet-and-greet opportunity will also be available for everyone in attendance during the After Party.

In addition to a solo career, Tracy Lynn Curry (The D.O.C.) was a member of the hip hop group Fila Fresh Crew and later collaborated with gangsta rap group N.W.A, where he co-wrote many of their releases, as well as Eazy-E’s solo debut album Eazy-Duz-It. He has also worked with Dr. Dre, co-writing his solo debut album, while Dre produced Curry’s solo debut album, released by Ruthless Records. He was one of the founders of Death Row Records along with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight, signing big artists like Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.

After Fila Fresh Crew split up in 1988, The D.O.C. went on to pursue a successful solo career. In 1989, he released his debut album, No One Can Do It Better, which reached number-one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for two weeks and spawned two number one hits on the Hot Rap Songs chart: “It’s Funky Enough” and “The D.O.C. & The Doctor”. The album went platinum five years after its release.

In late 1989, months after the release of No One Can Do It Better, The D.O.C. suffered a serious car crash that resulted in the crushing of his larynx, permanently changing his voice. Since his recovery, he has released two more albums, Helter Skelter in 1996 and Deuce in 2003.

Proudly supported by Taurus Security Group, we’re excited to welcome The D.O.C. to the Neuven Stadium, and we want you to be there to enjoy what is set to be an entertaining day for all!

Join us as we look to pick up three points on home soil, with a special guest from across the pond in attendance and the opportunity to meet the man himself, tickets will be available in due course.
