Swae Lee, the Rae Sremmurd singer whose hooks carried “Sunflower” and “Unforgettable”, brings his second solo album, Same Difference, to O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Swae Lee, whose “Sunflower” with Post Malone was the first song certified double diamond in the United States, plays O2 Forum Kentish Town on Thursday 12 November 2026. It is the first of two London nights on the tour behind his album Same Difference.
Born Khalif Brown in Inglewood, California, in 1993, he was raised in Tupelo, Mississippi. He began making music in high school with his older brother, Slim Jxmmi.
After a period of homelessness, the pair signed to Mike Will Made It’s EarDrummers label in 2013 as Rae Sremmurd. “Black Beatles”, with Gucci Mane, went to number one in America.
His solo voice, high and reverb-washed, became one of the most sought-after hooks in pop. “Unforgettable”, with French Montana, reached the American top three in 2017. He co-wrote Beyoncé’s “Formation”, which earned him a Grammy nomination.
Same Difference, released on 4 April after the lead single “Flammable”, has Jhené Aiko and his brother among its guests. The Forum opened as an art deco cinema in December 1934 and holds 2,300 under a Grade II listed roof.
