UK Artist Central Cee Plays Sold-Out Show at Houston’s 713 Music Hall

Central Cee performed a Sold-Out show at Houston’s 713 Music Hall, where he delivered electrifying UK drill and fans experienced an unforgettable night.

The rise of UK drill music has been making its way to the States. A pioneer of the mainstream sound is West London native Central Cee. He began gaining traction in 2020 and in 2023 hit it out of the park with his viral hit “Sprinter” featuring Dave. Central Cee released his newest project in January of this year, CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, with features from artists like Skepta, Lil Baby, and 21 Savage.

The lights dimmed in 713 Music Hall as the London artist made his way on stage. Central Cee came out rocking his signature ath-leisure wear outfit, glistening jewelry, and Kalenji beanie. He opened his set with “Doja,” “Limitless,” and “5 Star” from his newest album.

“I’m from West London, I never thought I would’ve sold out a show in Houston,” he exclaimed, smiling at the crowd. The Houston fans warmly welcomed him by wearing Premier League soccer jerseys and waving UK flags throughout the venue. He continued his set with tracks for his “day ones” like “Day in the Life,” “Cold Shoulder,” and “Commitment Issues.”

A highlight of the night was when he FaceTimed the audience during his “Gen Z Luv” performance. Central Cee had one phone on stage, and the crowd’s view was broadcast on the big screens behind him. On the other end of the FaceTime was a crew member at barricade, showing off the ecstatic fans up front. It was a fun and interactive moment that brought the audience even closer to the performance.

To wrap up his Houston stop, Central Cee closed with international hits “Sprinter” and “BAND4BAND.” Fans were seen jumping, rapping bar for bar with him, and soaking in every second. Central Cee is continuing his North American tour across the States—so catch him if you can!
