SAULT Stuns with First Live Performance at London's Drumsheds Featuring Little Simz

Published December 15, 2023

The enigmatic musical collective SAULT delighted fans with their first-ever live performance, an event that became even more memorable with guest appearances by Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka. Held at London's cutting-edge venue, The Drumsheds, the show was a vivid, multi-sensory experience for those in attendance.

The Mysterious Collective's Debut

Known for their anonymity and rich discography since their first album '5' in 2019, SAULT has kept the identities of their members a secret. Although details about the collective remain shrouded in mystery, producer Inflo is often considered the group's guiding force. With a background of providing uncredited vocals, artists such as Cleo Sol, Kid Sister, Chronixx, and others, contribute to the SAULT signature sound blend.

A Groundbreaking Live Show

For the concert, attendees journeyed through tunnels and rooms accentuated with natural elements and the group's albums before stepping through a refrigerator door to enter the main hall. Once inside, fans were treated to an approximately two-hour show that was divided into three parts. Kicking off with an introduction, SAULT moved into the 'Africa Section', inviting Little Simz to perform 'Fear No Man'. Known for her collaboration with Inflo, including on her Mercury Award-winning album, Little Simz's participation was a highlight.

The night continued with 'Acts of Faith,' a new record consisting of nine tracks that left the audience captivated. SAULT wrapped up the show with a mix of songs from their catalog. Michael Kiwanuka's performance of 'Colour Blind' and Kid Sister's appearance on 'Don't Waste My Time' further sparked excitement among the crowd. The complete setlist is a testament to SAULT's extensive and diverse body of work.

World Tour and Unique Performances

Following this stunning debut, SAULT is set to embark on a world tour, promising to perform a different album at each venue. Cities across the globe, from New York to Paris to LA, will each host a unique album performance. In a special event, SAULT will also dedicate a show to 'Earth' in Africa, the precise location yet to be disclosed. Adding to the excitement, another London date is planned, featuring their album 'Nine'.

The impact of SAULT's music is undeniable, with profound narratives wrapped in their songs. Their potent mix of hope and heartbreak was critically acclaimed in their album 'Nine', showing that SAULT skillfully transforms emotion into artistic expression.
