Rising U.K. Rapper EsDeeKid Plays His First-Ever Shows in Canada: Canadian Concerts of the Week

Plus, Francophone rapper Souffrance performs in Montreal, while artists Softcult and Cate play home province concerts in Toronto and Vancouver, respectively.

This week, underground U.K. rapper EsDeeKid is flexing with his first set of shows in Canada, performing three sold-out dates between Montreal and Toronto. With only one album under his belt, the Scouse artist has been on a red-hot rise to the top, scoring multiple spots on the Billboard Canada charts, proving his hold on Canadian listeners — despite his mysterious appearance.

Additionally, French hip-hop artist Souffrance scores one night in Montreal, while Ontario twin-sibling duo Softcult performs an album release show in Toronto. Then, Canadian-born pop singer Cate secures her first-ever hometown show on the west coast.
