RIC WILSON

In the organizer's words:

After his acclaimed Pitchfork appearance, which was only topped by Lizzo in 2019 (Chicago Tribune), the exceptional artist Ric Wilson is coming to Europe for the first time - and will be playing two exclusive shows in Berlin and Cologne! With his unique blend of funky hip-hop, disco-infused beats and intelligent lyrics, Wilson creates music that is not only moving, but also thought-provoking.

Ric Wilson is more than just an artist - he is a movement. His energetic live shows combine danceable grooves with socio-political awareness, coupled with an irrepressible zest for life. Whether supporting acts such as The Roots, Lil Yachty or Noname or at festivals such as Rolling Loud, Gov Ball and Pitchfork, Wilson inspires with his infectious stage presence and a sound palette that ranges from funky basslines to triumphant brass sections.

But Wilson is only a musical phenomenon: in 2014, he traveled to Geneva as one of eight delegates of the We Charge Genocide coalition to report to the United Nations on police violence against black people and people of color in Chicago - a mission that made headlines around the world (Daily Mail, Japan Times, MSN France, etc.).

The first European tour - After years of anticipation, Ric Wilson is finally coming to Germany. Anyone familiar with his shows knows that this is where disco pop meets conscious rap.
