Kaytranada, the Grammy-winning producer raised near Montreal, makes his Drumsheds debut with an eight-hour bill that also carries Sam Gellaitry, Kitty Ca$h and Lou Phelps.
Kaytranada, the producer whose album BUBBA won a Grammy, headlines Drumsheds in Meridian Water on Saturday 2 January 2027. It is his first show at the venue.
Born Louis Kevin Celestin in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 1992, he grew up in Saint-Hubert, near Montreal. His brother introduced him to the FL Studio software when he was 14.
An unofficial remix of Janet Jackson’s “If” first spread his name online, and he signed to XL Recordings in 2014. His debut album, 99.9%, won the Polaris Music Prize, and BUBBA took the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
His sets move between electronic music, hip-hop, R&B and funk, the same range as his records with Kali Uchis, GoldLink and Masego.
He last headlined London in the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace in April 2025. The Drumsheds date runs for eight hours, from the afternoon into the night, on the first Saturday of the year.
Scottish producer Sam Gellaitry and DJ Kitty Ca$h join the bill. So does his brother, Lou Phelps, his partner in the hip-hop duo the Celestics.
