Gotobeat is partnering with London-based live events brand and alternative rap specialist AUX to deliver EsDeeKid’s upcoming Council House Rat Tour.
The collaboration builds on the brands’ partnership on the Scouse rapper’s sold-out debut headline Rebel Tour in 2025.
EsDeeKid will play 21 dates across the UK and Europe later this year.
At Gotobeat, we're lucky to work with a range of brilliant artists, but this jump is something else
Pietro Bertini, Gotobeat
“It's been incredible to watch EsDeeKid's career explode in scale over the last 12 months – from grassroots venues on his first tour to arenas on this one," said Pietro Bertini, senior promoter at Gotobeat. "At Gotobeat, we're lucky to work with a range of brilliant artists, but this jump is something else, and being part of that journey is a real privilege.”
By combining AI technology with human expertise, the live entertainment company aims to reduce risk by forecasting demand for a show.
The Gotobeat model now runs around 1,000 shows a year across more than 500 venues in the UK and Europe, with roughly 500,000 tickets sold in 2026.
The announcement of EsDeeKid's tour follows the launch of Gotobeat's arena tour division in July.
The rapper's November/December tour will be his biggest to date and follows a string of festival performances across the US and Europe over the summer, including at Rolling Loud, Splash! and All Points East.
He was also nominated for Breakthrough Artist at the 2026 BRIT Awards and Best Drill Act at the 2026 MOBO Awards, and released his debut album, Rebel, in June, which peaked at No.8 in the UK.
