Rizzle Kicks have announced a show in London for 2026, marking their biggest headline date of their career. Find all the details below.
The Brighton pop-rap duo – comprising Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sulé – will take to the stage at Alexandra Palace in the capital on Friday May 22. It’ll come in support of their 2025 comeback album, ‘Competition Is For Losers’.
“The first football team I ever played for was the Alexandra Palace Broncos. I would go to fireworks night there every single year. I would go ice skating every Christmas,” explained Alexander-Sulé.
“Ally Pally was such a big part of my life and now I get to play there. A genuine dream come true.”

Last November, the group played their first show together in 10 years at KOKO in Camden Town, London. They later embarked on a full UK headline tour in March this year. Additionally, the duo made appearances at numerous summer festivals – including Glastonbury, The Great Escape and Victorious.
‘Competition Is For Losers’ marked Rizzle Kicks’ first album in over a decade. In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Despite some (very) minor missteps, ‘Competition Is For Losers’ is a triumphant return. Not only do the pair reacquaint us with their wondrous world, but they also prove that – despite the time off – ring rust is of no concern here. Nine years after we last heard from them, Rizzle Kicks are just as mesmerising as their first run.”
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Jordan Stephens recalled once confronting Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury over his disparaging comments about Little Mix.
“JADE said that I went over to Noel at Glastonbury and told him to stop dissing Little Mix and that I needed him to apologise to my girlfriend, and Noel responded, ‘Will I fuck!’,” he told us.
“Yeah, that did happen, but it sounds more aggy than it was, ‘cause I know and love Noel – he used to call me Young Lion Cub. I spotted Noel backstage, we’re just chatting and then I said, ‘You’ve been talking shit about my girlfriend, are you going to go and apologise?’. And he went, ‘Will I fuck!’. Which me and JADE found hilarious – which is the point.
“But obviously I can’t have someone talking shit about my missus. Especially not Noel – the flannel!”
