On Sunday 27 of October, we went to Saintés concert in Koko Camden Town. The venue hosted thousands of fans of the UK rapper without expecting that the concert would end up being a whole UK rap festival.

Sainté brought the craziest energy, performing his hits with all his heart, interacting with the public, asking questions, playing a basketball game where, if the public score, they could get free merch. He also got into the crowd for his last song and even sang his famous hit Champagne Shoots twice in a row as the public was crazy asking for it.
He gave the best time to his public by bringing special guests like: Knucks, Strandz, Kairo, Ants live… into the stage. It all started with a DJ set who warmed up the public, then Tay Jordan came up as the supporting artist, giving a crazy energy before Sainté jumped on stage. He sang some of his classics like Summer is Blue, Stylin’, On me, Hunnids and his last single Calm & Collected and, of course, songs from his latest album Still Local.
He then started with the head line artists by this order: Knucks, A2, Ants Live, LV, Rushy, Chy Cartier, Strandz, Kairo Keyz and Niko B, each one sang their most famous song and the ones they have with Sainté. Koko hosted a really excited crowd who put the phone lights in many of Sainté’s songs, giving a crazy view to the artists, who was showing his gratitude and happiness the whole show.
He showed a really approaching vibe with his fans, signing his merch after the show, taking pictures and speaking with them till late. We can tell that the same chill, nice and vibrant energy he transmits through his songs is the same one he has in real life.
Sainté just came back from tour all over the UK, and it’s at the minute doing his tour all over Europe, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Berlin… are some of the many cities where he’s gonna be performing until the 21st of November, where he finishes his tour in Gothenburg.
