EsDeeKid's Masked Mystery Draws 'Insane' Crowds at All Points East
On Sunday, the masked rapper EsDeeKid took the stage at All Points East for his first UK performance in quite some time, showcasing intense bars from a castle-like platform. Attendees labeled the show as "absolutely insane" and noted the "constant energy." Known for his Scouse accent and the mystery of only revealing his eyes, EsDeeKid emerged onto the scene last year, leading to speculation that he was Timothée Chalamet, which was debunked in December through a viral video that garnered 42 million views. He is set to embark on a 48-date tour, Council House Rat, starting in September and concluding in Liverpool in December. His debut album, Rebel, released in June 2025, reached number eight on the UK Official Albums Chart and 23 on the Billboard 200, earning him admiration for his unique style and anonymity.
