Misch has just released his second studio album ‘Full Circle‘ last Friday (March 27) – his first new music since 2020 collaborative record ‘What Kinda Music’ with Yussef Dayes.

To celebrate, he stepped on stage for the first of his two comeback shows at KOKO yesterday (Wednesday April 1), bringing on a number of guests. Alt-R&B singer Jordan Rakei joined Misch to play their collaboration ‘Wake Up This Day’, which appeared on Misch’s 2015 album ‘Beat Tape 2’.

Then, South London rapper Loyle Carner took to the stage to perform ‘Damselfly’ with the musician. He appeared surprised at the roar from the crowd at his arrival, proclaiming: “Oh, shit!”. The song appeared on Carner’s breakout 2017 debut album ‘Yesterday’s Gone‘, and remains one of their biggest hits today.

Misch has previously expressed interest in creating a “joint tape” together, with him saying of Carner to NME: “I first heard Loyle Carner on SoundCloud in 2014. I could tell he was from south London and his stuff blew my mind”.

Fans have praised Misch’s return to the stage, with one user writing: “So great to see Tom back & performing his new music, he sounds so good”. Meanwhile, another user commented: “Tom Misch surprising us with Loyle Carner at KOKO is HEALING for my teenage self”.
