Kofi Stone

Presented by MG Live, Kofi Stone will make his New Zealand debut at Auckland’s The Tuning Fork on Saturday 14 November, and kicks off his second Australian tour in Brisbane on Tuesday 17 November at The Brightside, followed by shows at Sydney’s Liberty Hall on Friday 20 November, Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Saturday 21 November and Perth’s Magnet House on Tuesday 24 November.

One of the UK’s most vital and respected voices in hip-hop, Kofi Stone is known for his deeply reflective lyricism, storytelling, and fusion of jazz, soul, and hip- hop, carving out a distinct space in British music built on honesty, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from his poet grandfather and early exposure to soul, grime and hip-hop, his artistry embodies patience, purpose and authenticity. His recent sold-out UK tour garnered rave reviews with WORDPLAY magazine calling the Birmingham MC, “one of the most opulent poets in a stratosphere of incredible UK rap talent”.

His latest project, All The Flowers Have Bloomed, marks the close of his “mixtape era”, completing a trilogy that began with Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does and A Man After God’s Own Heart. A project that showcases Kofi at his creative peak, blending smoky, live instrumentation with poetic introspection and features from Jacob Banks, Maverick Sabre, Ady Suleiman and Tyler Daley (Children of Zeus).
