Hot on the heels of a headline tour in support of second studio album Let Them Eat Chaos, Kae Tempest and their band brought a specially extended live show that kicked off the final weekend of Brighton Festival in fine style. A poet, rapper, playwright, and impassioned performer, Kae is an artist who refuses to conform to genre boundaries. Whether it’s their self-performed epic poem Brand New Ancients (winner of the 2013 Ted Hughes Prize), their electrifying debut novel The Bricks That Built The Houses, or their Mercury Music Prize-nominated album Everybody Down, when you experience their powerful oratory, you’ll know why they are being hailed as the voice of a jilted generation.
Support comes from Melbourne MC REMI, who, with musical collaborator Sensible J, has become one of the fastest-rising hip-hop acts in Australia. REMI's sophomore LP Divas and Demons was released last year through his own label and included the widely loved single For Good featuring Sampa the Great.
