Stormzy did a surprise gig in Camden today
And it was completely free
Kate McMartinEarlier this morning, Stormzy did what any UK grime artist would do on the release date of their debut album: Tweeted a place and time to be for a surprise set in London.
At 1pm today, Stormzy showed up at Castlehaven Park in Camden to perform for completely free. His new album ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’ was also released today, with stars like Ed Sheeran and Adele showing their support for it on Twitter earlier this morning.
Despite it being a last minute announcement, hundreds of fans showed up to see the surprise set:
… for which Stormzy seemed chuffed, saying the turnout was “crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy”.
Even though the set was only short, Stormzy performed a few songs for his fans, including the old favourite ‘Shut Up’, his most well-known single.
The gig was especially convenient for UCL students, what with Camden being so close to uni and the likely place for student housing.
Since he only performed a couple of tracks, it was more or less a glorified lunch break. Not bad for a Friday afternoon.
Wanna see him? Looks like he’s heading for Piccadilly next….
