EsDeeKid at Hollywood Palladium

UK rapper EsDeeKid lands at Hollywood Palladium on October 7, 2026, bringing the Council House Rat Tour to one of the city's most storied rooms on Sunset Boulevard. If you have been scanning the calendar for LA concerts this fall, this is one of the shows worth circling: a fast-rising name in the UK drill and rap scene making his mark on the Hollywood stage, with Rico Ace opening the night.

EsDeeKid broke out on the strength of viral freestyles and a run of singles that turned heads well beyond London, and the Council House Rat Tour is his first proper victory lap through North America. The Palladium stop fits squarely into a run of concerts in Los Angeles that lean into UK rap's growing US footprint, and it is the kind of booking that makes the Palladium's calendar worth checking every month if you care about live music Los Angeles fans have been talking up all year.

What to expect

Doors open early, giving the crowd time to grab a drink and find a spot before Rico Ace kicks off the support set. EsDeeKid's live show leans on the same raw energy that built his following online: tight verses, heavy bass, and a pace that rarely lets up. Expect a packed floor and a young crowd that knows every word.

When: October 7, 2026, doors at 7:00 PM Where: Hollywood Palladium, 6215 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Getting there and practical info

The Palladium sits right on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, an easy stop if you are already making a night of it in the neighborhood. Metro's Hollywood/Vine station is a short walk away, and rideshare drop-off is simple along Sunset. Paid lots surround the venue, but they fill fast on show nights, so arrive with time to spare. Ticket prices vary by seating tier and platform, so compare before you buy.

For anyone building out a longer list of things to do in Los Angeles this weekend, pairing an early dinner nearby with a general-admission floor ticket is a reliable formula. The Palladium's size keeps shows feeling intimate even at a few thousand capacity, which is part of why it keeps landing on rundowns of the best LA concerts regardless of genre.
