Who Is EsDeeKid
EsDeeKid released his debut mixtape Rebel in June 2025, which NME named to its year-end best-50 albums list, describing him as seizing the UK underground's chaotic baton with "punk-level audacity and high-pressure gloss." This year he has released new singles "Omens," "Made It On Our Own," and "RockWave," with NME describing "Omens" as carrying forward the "raw texture and heavy production" that made him a breakout name.
EsDeeKid's identity previously fueled online conspiracy theories claiming he was a secret alias of actor Timothée Chalamet; the two later collaborated on a remix of "4 Raws," putting the speculation to rest. Ahead of the tour, he is also set to perform alongside Deftones, IDLES, Amyl And The Sniffers, and JPEGMAFIA.
