EsDeeKid & Rico Ace: Council House Rat Tour

EsDeeKid brings his masked, balaclava-clad live show to Raleigh as part of the Council House Rat Tour. The Liverpool rapper, known for a thick Scouse accent and cloud-rap-inspired sound, keeps his identity private — no real name, age, or face revealed — and moves through live sets as a shadowy figure in all-black clothing. His debut mixtape, *Rebel*, helped cement his place in the UK underground rap scene, with 'Phantom' becoming one of his biggest tracks.

On stage, expect a heavy, almost rock-influenced energy with dark lighting and frequent moshing. He is joined on this tour by frequent collaborator Rico Ace, with whom he recorded 'Phantom'. The Council House Rat Tour takes its name from EsDeeKid's own story — he still lives in his council house — and brings that uncompromising, underground aesthetic to a standing-room-only venue.
