Tickets and more information.

Rilès Kacimi, born January 4, 1996, better known by his stage name Rilès, is a French Algerian rappersongwritercomposer and record producer from Rouen. Although he is Algerian/French his songs are written and sung in English. This was a choice he made when he first began his career, as his parents did not want him to pursue a music career and writing in English rather than French or Arabic was a way for him to express his craft in language they had difficulty understanding. His song "Brothers", is one of his most popular songs followed by "I Do It".
