Kelela

Kelela lands at O2 Academy Brixton, London, on 4 November 2026 with a set shaped around new avatar, her third album. Still walking the line between R&B and electronic music, she leans into the versatility of the guitar to redraw her palette, stitching lived fragments into songs about connection and resilience in unsettled times. The new material moves through Black femme rage, joy as resistance, Gotham‑tinted dystopia, misogynoir and romantic tension, with production that nudges the borders of alternative, rock and indie from a club‑rooted perspective.

On stage, she folds this chapter into a catalogue that began with Cut 4 Me (2013) and Hallucinogen (2015), sharpened on Take Me Apart (2017), expanded with Raven (2023) and its RAVE:N The Remixes (2024), then reimagined live on In The Blue Light (2025). Raised in Washington, D.C. and shaped by UK‑influenced club scenes, Kelela’s precise vocals ride bass pressure, fractured rhythms and glassy textures. A focused showcase of her hybrid language, where intimate R&B writing, experimental pop instincts and dance energy share the same pulse.
