Anyone who saw their previous sold-out Wellington shows will know Kae Tempest is an artist whose work comes to life when it’s performed live. When speaking with the New York Times about the upcoming tour, they described the feeling of a good gig as being like “going to space. When it’s all happening, it’s like we’re all breathing the same rhythm.” Described by many as a polymath genius musician, songwriter, rapper, poet, and playwright, Kae is truly an artist of our generation.
