The Somerset House Summer Series with American Express reaches its electrifying conclusion on Sunday, 20th July 2025, as Peckham-born rap pioneer Giggs, also known as The Landlord, brings his ‘Giggs & Family‘ show to the iconic neo-classical courtyard. Known for his gritty, influential style, Giggs has redefined UK rap with tracks like “Talkin’ the Hardest” and “KMT” featuring Drake. Giggs is sure to put on a powerhouse performance, marking a triumphant finale to the venue’s 11-night festival celebrating Somerset House’s 25th anniversary as a cultural hub.
The evening promises to be a heavyweight affair, with special guests P Money, Tiny Boost, and Blade Brown joining Giggs for an exclusive performance in the spectacular open-air setting. This collaboration represents a meeting of UK rap royalty, bringing together artists who have shaped the sound of British hip-hop over the past decade.
For Giggs, whose real name is Nathaniel Thompson, this Somerset House appearance represents another milestone in a career that has consistently pushed boundaries. From his early mixtape days to mainstream recognition to selling out shows across the UK and US, the South London MC has remained authentic to his roots while evolving his sound. His influence on UK rap cannot be overstated – he’s credited with helping to establish the darker, more introspective style that has become synonymous with British hip-hop.
The ‘Giggs & Family’ concept isn’t just about featuring guest artists – it’s about showcasing an evolving community that has grown around one of UK rap’s most respected figures. P Money brings his legendary freestyle credentials and sharp lyricism, while Tiny Boost adds his distinctive energy to the mix. Blade Brown, known for his trap-influenced sound, completes this formidable lineup.
Somerset House Summer Series returns this July for 11 nights of unmissable gigs in the iconic setting of the spectacular open-air courtyard, and this closing night promises to be unforgettable. The venue’s unique atmosphere – surrounded by 18th-century architecture yet pulsing with contemporary energy – provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of cutting-edge British rap.
With doors opening at 7:30 pm, fans can expect a carefully curated experience that celebrates not only Giggs’ artistry but also the broader UK rap scene he has helped nurture. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a statement about the current state and future direction of British hip-hop, delivered in one of London’s most prestigious cultural venues. Get ready for The Landlord.
