Central Cee Opens Up The UK Leg of The Can’t Rush Greatness Tour In Birmingham

On April 18th 2025, UK drill/rap artist Central Cee played the first show in the UK on his ‘Can’t Rush Greatness’ world tour at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena. 

Taking to the stage earlier than most artists, Central Cee began his set around 8:30 p.m., performing a setlist of roughly 30 songs over the course of about an hour and a half. In the past, I’ve often been let down by rappers’ live energy—but this was far from the case with Central Cee. He sounded just like he does on record, frequently engaged with the crowd, and delivered a high-energy, well-rounded performance that kept fans excited from start to finish.
