EsDeeKid Announces 48-Date Council House Rat World Tour
Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid is taking his rapidly growing UK underground sound around the world with the announcement of his 48-date Council House Rat Tour, a major international headline run spanning North America, Europe and the UK.
The tour kicks off on September 12 in Charlotte, North Carolina, before moving through major North American markets including New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston. The North American leg runs through October 27, giving EsDeeKid the opportunity to introduce his high-energy sound to audiences across the continent.
After the North American run, the tour heads to Europe on November 2 with a show in Helsinki, Finland. EsDeeKid will then visit cities including Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Milan, Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam before heading to the UK in December.
The UK leg is particularly significant for the Liverpool artist. EsDeeKid is scheduled to perform his biggest headline show to date at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on December 3. He will then play Glasgow before returning home for two Liverpool performances at Blackstone Street Warehouse on December 10 and 11.
The announcement comes after a major summer for EsDeeKid, who has performed at festivals including Rolling Loud, Summer Smash and Roskilde. He is also scheduled to appear at London’s All Points East presents Outbreak Festival on August 23, alongside artists including Deftones, IDLES, Amyl and the Sniffers and JPEGMAFIA.
EsDeeKid’s rise has been one of the more distinctive stories in Britain’s current underground rap scene. The masked Liverpool rapper keeps his identity private while building a growing international audience around his punk-influenced, high-energy approach to UK rap.
His debut mixtape, Rebel, released in 2025, reached No. 8 on the UK Official Albums Chart and helped establish him as one of the country’s most talked-about emerging rap artists.
The scale of the Council House Rat Tour shows how quickly that underground momentum is translating into international demand. Rather than limiting the run to a handful of European dates, EsDeeKid is taking his music through dozens of cities across three major territories.
The tour also represents an important moment for Liverpool’s current rap scene. With the final two shows taking place in his hometown, the Council House Rat Tour will ultimately bring EsDeeKid’s international breakthrough back to where it began.
From a breakout underground artist to a 48-date international headliner, EsDeeKid’s next chapter is shaping up to be one of the UK’s most interesting rap stories of 2026.
