‘Kae Tempest’

With a pen as graceful as it is sharp, British artist, Kae Tempest perfectly captures how our world (dol)spins around its own axis. Despite the often-heavy themes like oppression, poverty or love, hope is the common thread in their work. Supported by minimal hip-hop beats and ambient textures, Tempest proclaims a message of hope, unfiltered. With the acclaimed albums Let Them Eat Chaos (2016), The Book of Traps and Lessons (2019) and The Line is A Curve (2022), Tempest has created a poetic trilogy that offers us a steadying hand in turbulent times. They also announced a new album Self Titled on Island Records (July 2025). Kae Tempest is a voice of their generation. After their passage at Bozar, you'll no doubt wonder: ‘Was that a pivotal historical moment, we just went stumbling past?’
