Anonymous Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid has confirmed a 48-date world tour for 2026, titled "Council House Rat", spanning North America, Europe and the UK/Ireland. The run marks a major milestone for the rising artist, culminating in his biggest headline show to date at London's OVO Arena Wembley, and cements his growing profile following the acclaimed 2025 debut mixtape "Rebel", which NME named among that year's best albums.

The tour opens in September at The Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina, taking in 28 shows across the US and Canada before heading to Europe from 2 November in Helsinki. UK and Ireland dates begin with the Wembley show on 3 December, followed by Dublin and Glasgow, and wrap up with two homecoming gigs at Liverpool's Blackstone Street Warehouse on 10 and 11 December. Pre-sales ran from 10am on 30 July, with tickets going on general sale at 10am on 31 July.
