Fakemink: A Terrible Beauty - The Tour

fakemink brings A Terrible Beauty – The Tour to O2 Ritz Manchester in Manchester on 3 June 2026. Based in London, the project sits in the mid-2020s UK underground where alt-rap, cloud rap and shadowy electronics meet. Tracks are tight and concise, led by a melodic, half-sung rap that rides quick, clipped productions. There’s emo tension in the writing, a club impulse in the beats, and a digital, cut-and-paste edge that keeps the sound agile.

On stage, fakemink moves between abrasive textures and more direct vocal lines without losing focus, switching gears like the London scenes that constantly cross-pollinate: rap, experimental pop, live bands and DIY electronics. The discography grows through singles and short formats rather than big album statements, which feeds a fast, iterative way of writing and performing. It’s a contemporary, nocturnal rap sensibility—supple, fragmented, catchy when it needs to be—borrowing pop instincts while leaning into the shifting codes of the online underground.
