On 10 and 11 November 2023, Little Simz commandeered the stage at Alexandra Palace. The London rapper’s magnetic presence and limitless talent left both critics and fans spellbound.

Little Simz’s performance, which empasized the rebellious spirit of “No Thank You,” resonated in the Great Hall as she recalled her memories of spending time at the Palace on stage.

Emotions ran high and her fans’ cheers were deafening throughout the show. Relive the intensity of these two night with our playlist, audience reactions, reviews and photos below:

★★★★★ “‘Name one time I didn’t deliver,’ she teases. That line is more than fitting tonight.” – Independent
