The global pioneering artist, WEGZ, announces that he’ll performing in the U.K at London’s Eventim Apollo on Thursday, 5 October 2023. Taking the world by storm and amassing millions of fans worldwide, the Alexandrian rapper is making Egyptian trap a real movement.
Set to continue his superstar reign, WEGZ will take to the stage across the U.K, Europe, and North America, bringing audiences a taste of Egyptian hip-hop with his experimental blend of Shaabi and trap. Presales for WEGZ’s highly anticipated live show will start Wednesday 28 June, at 10am local time with general on-sale following Friday 30 June, at 10am local time via LiveNation.co.uk.
Hailing originally from Elwardian, Alexandria, and now based in Cairo, Egyptian artist Wegz is arguably the highest grossing, steaming, and burgeoning rapper to come out of Egypt – and the Middle East. Originally starting as a trap artist from humble beginnings, Wegz is known for popularizing the ‘Shabbi’ sound, making an indelible impact with his wailing vocals and poignant lyrics that cut to the soul.
Now, Wegz is renowned for seamlessly fusing trap, mumble rap, electro shaabi, and a plethora of Egyptian sound, it’s become impossible to box the multifaceted artist in. With a consistent track record of steady releases since 2017, Wegz has worked with the likes of Molotof, DJ Totti, L5VAV, and, most recently, Grammy-nominated multi-platinum producer Khaled Rohaim.
His lyrics speak to Egyptian youth ad his performances embody a brave young culture ever eager to be set free.
