Central Cee Proves You TrulyCan't Rush Greatnessin Epic Brisbane Show
Let me tell you something—if you weren’t at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on June 22nd to see Central Cee, you missed an event , not just a concert. It was loud, it was polished, it was electric—and above all, it was proof that London’s hottest drill export has absolutely arrived on the world stage.
This was Central Cee’s first major tour down under, and to say fans showed up would be an understatement. The crowd? Thousands deep. The energy? Through the roof. You could feel the anticipation thick in the air as people packed into the arena, waiting to see if the 27-year-old rapper, Oakley Neil Caesar-Su—better known as Central Cee—would live up to the hype. Spoiler: he did, and then some.

The show celebrates his debut studio album Can’t Rush Greatness , a title that perfectly encapsulates Cench’s slow-burn rise. He didn’t just drop a full-length album for the sake of it—he took his time, carved out his sound, and delivered something that truly represents his growth, his swagger, and his story.
But don’t get it twisted—just because this is his first album doesn’t mean the man’s been sleeping. Over the past few years, he’s kept the streets fed with an arsenal of hits. From “Sprinter” with Dave to “Band4Band” with Lil Baby and the global smash “Too Much” featuring Jung Kook and Kid LAROI, Cee has been methodically building his empire. And you can feel that precision and planning in every second of his live performance.
The setlist was insane—nearly 30 songs packed into a 90-minute show. And he didn’t coast through it either. What stood out most was how little he relied on backing tracks. The dude actually raps —like, really performs, in real-time. It’s rare these days in hip hop, and it’s refreshing. Between tracks like “Daily Duppy” and “Chapters”, he reminded everyone that behind the chart success is someone with real lyrical chops.
And then there’s the stage production—next level. Pyro kicked off by the third track, moody color shifts bathed the stage, and a bridge connecting a secondary platform let Cench physically move through the crowd, not just perform in front of them. At one point, he was within a metre of the fans, filming a cheeky FaceTime moment on the big screens and even snapping a Nintendo DS selfie with someone in the crowd. It wasn’t just a show; it was an experience. You could feel that mutual love between artist and audience. The connection was real.
By the end of the night, with everyone still buzzing, Cee took a genuine pause to thank the crowd before launching into a massive version of “No Introduction.” It was a heartfelt finish to a relentless, high-energy, crowd-loving set.
Central Cee didn’t just put on a good show—he showed why he’s the face of modern UK rap. Authentic, calculated, and electric on stage. For anyone wondering if the wait for his full-length debut was worth it? One night in Brisbane made the answer clear: greatness can’t be rushed, but damn, it hits hard when it arrives.
