Action Bronson

Action Bronson plays Electric Ballroom in London on 1 July 2026. Raised in Flushing, Queens, the rapper first trained as a chef before turning to music at the start of the 2010s. His style stays close to the New York tradition: sample-led soul, jazz and funk loops, sturdy drums and a gravelly voice with an easy, conversational swing. His writing leans on concrete images, humour and everyday detail, mixing food lore with street snapshots and left-field references.

He made his mark with Dr. Lecter in 2011, then the Blue Chips tapes with Party Supplies in 2012, followed by Rare Chandeliers with The Alchemist and the EP Saaab Stories. The run continued with Mr. Wonderful (2015), Blue Chips 7000 (2017), White Bronco (2018), Only for Dolphins (2020) and Cocodrillo Turbo (2022), tracing a path between indie rap grit and more open, sample-rich palettes.

On stage, Action Bronson shifts from boom-bap punch to breezier, jazz-tinted grooves, giving space to narrative bars and loose, in-the-moment detours. Special guests round out the night.
