British bedroom-rap artist Fakemink will take a headline tour across North America and Europe beginning next month, opening his run with performances at Coachella. The itinerary, which stretches into July and features major festival appearances, is being presented alongside his forthcoming album, Terrified, due this spring.
The tour is a significant step for an artist who has moved quickly from online buzz to big-stage billing. Fakemink released a short-form project titled The Boy Who Cried Terrified last month as a precursor to the full-length record; his previous studio album, London’s Saviour, arrived in 2023.
For fans and industry watchers, the schedule signals wider acceptance of UK DIY rap in international festival programming. Landing sets at landmark events such as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Primavera Sound highlights the growing crossover potential of artists who began working outside traditional studio systems.
North America and festival highlights
His North American leg mixes headline shows with festival slots, offering several chances to hear new material live. Venues range from intimate clubs to arena-caliber theaters, underscoring a transition from underground circuit to mainstream stages.
- April: Coachella (Indio, CA) — two weekend sets; then Phoenix, AZ (The Van Buren)
- Late April: Texas dates — Austin (Emo’s), Dallas (Echo Lounge & Music Hall), Houston (White Oak Music Hall)
- Late April–May: Southeastern and Northeast run — Atlanta (The Masquerade), Philadelphia (Union Transfer), New York City (Terminal 5)

- May–July: Major festival appearances — Rolling Loud (Orlando) and Lollapalooza (Chicago, late July)
Europe: festival circuit and club dates
The European schedule weaves festival centerpieces with established club venues, hitting cities across the UK and the continent. Promoters have placed Fakemink on festival bills alongside more established international acts, a sign of both demand and growing programming confidence.
- Late May: UK dates — Glasgow (SWG3), Bristol (Electric), Dublin (The Academy), London (Electric Brixton)
- Early June: England and Spain — Birmingham (O2 Institute), Manchester (O2 Ritz), Primavera Sound (Barcelona)

What this tour means practically: audiences across multiple markets will get early exposure to the record material before the album’s formal release, and festival programmers appear ready to integrate bedroom-origin artists into large-scale lineups. That shift could influence booking patterns for similar acts in the coming year.
Keep an eye on official announcements for exact ticket on-sale details and potential support acts. As Fakemink moves from internet sensation toward international headliner, these dates will be a clear marker of how quickly his audience is expanding.
