Ken Carson - WTF EU&UK TOUR

Ken Carson, born Kenyatta Lee Frazier Jr., will come to Sporthalle Hamburg on 23 March 2026 as part of the WTF EU & UK Tour. Hailing from Atlanta and affiliated with Playboi Carti’s Opium label, he moves between his hometown’s trap and the currents of internet rap, operating in close proximity to artists like Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gang.

His sound draws on plugg and rage aesthetics: distorted electronic productions, rapid patterns, compact songs, autotune-tinged, repetitively melodic vocals, and distinctive ad‑libs. After early EPs such as Boy Barbie and Teen X, Project X (2021), X (2022) and A Great Chaos (2023) have shaped his trajectory — material from which the Hamburg setlist is drawn. Live, Carson condenses the tracks into a cohesive run, inserts breaks and transitions, plays with call‑and‑response, and places a clear emphasis on bass, tempo and hook fragments. The visual identity and collective mindset of the Opium scene remain present in the background, while the pieces take on a more direct stage presence: short, sharpened and designed for movement. An evening that brings Ken Carson’s current chapter into sharp focus.
