With a sold-out Melkweg and 013, the rapper, singer and producer The Kid LAROI
made a name for himself with Dutch fans. In 2024 he earlier came to AFAS Live
during The First Time tour. Earlier this year he released his most recent
album BEFORE I FORGET, a nice occasion to return to Amsterdam.
At only 22 years old, LAROI has already established himself as one of the
fastest rising stars in the music industry. In 2021 he set a record by spending
a long time at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Stay, his
collaboration with Justin Bieber, which dominated the radio and gained
worldwide recognition. The Kid LAROI has captivated fans around the world with
songs such as Let Her Go, Diva ft. Lil Tecca, Go ft. Juice WRLD and Without
You, the latter of which led to his debut performance on Saturday Night Live
alongside Miley Cyrus. His debut mixtape from 2020, _F_ ck Love*, achieved great
success and reached number three on the Billboard 200.
In recognition of his achievements, LAROI received a nomination for the
prestigious Best New Artist award at the 64th GRAMMY Awards (2022). His first
full-length album, _THE FIRST TIME_, made an impression in 2023 and debuted at
number 26 on the Billboard 200. The album also reached number three on the
ARIA Albums Chart, marking LAROI’s second top 3 entry in Australia.
LAROI had a grand start to 2024 with the release of the deluxe version of
_THE FIRST TIME_, which contained five new tracks. He went on _The First Time
Tour_, touring Europe, North America and Australia. He released three new
singles, including GIRLS, which he performed live on the tour for the first
time prior to its release, as well as APEROL SPRITZ and SLOW IT DOWN with
Quavo. ALL I WANT IS YOU marked LAROI’s first release of 2025 and was followed
by his long-awaited single HOW DOES IT FEEL. With his new releases, LAROI
continues to push boundaries and impress audiences with his unmistakable
stardom.
