The Kid Laroi: End Of The World Tour 2022 at The Stage AE

The Australian, Gadigal-born rapper, Kid Laroi, has risen rapidly since he first gained international attention in 2019. Particularly since dropping the original F*CK LOVE mixtape in July 2020, and its deluxe version, SAVAGE, which featured guests including Marshmello, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Machine Gun Kelly. The album peaked at number 1 on the Australian ARIA Charts, making him the youngest Australian solo artist ever to reach the top, and also reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 here in the US.

His sound often takes musical cues from artists like the late Juice WRLD, who guested on “GO” and had helped Laroi find his feet at the beginning of his career, and Post Malone, but he’s also played with warm, ukulele reggae rhythms and emotive, guitar-led sounds. His emotionally open lyrics touch on heartbreak, loneliness, and, ultimately, being every bit as flawed as those around him. It’s a vibe that’s clearly hit a nerve and earned him some big-name fans. Miley Cyrus loved his track “WITHOUT YOU” so much, they performed it together on an episode of Saturday Night Live. After LAROI featured on Justin Bieber’s 2021 track “Unstable,” the iconic pop star returned the favor here, guesting on the mega-hit “Stay.” Aditionally both the singles, “Without You”, and “Stay” reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, with "Stay" peaking at number 1.
