Heavy traffic warning ahead of UK rapper's concert tonight
Main Roads has warned motorists about traffic congestion in Perth city ahead of Central Cee's concert at RAC Arena on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old British rapper, real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, is set to take the stage in front of thousands of fans at 9pm for the last show on his Can't Rush Greatness world tour. Doors to the arena open from 7pm, and Main Roads urged drivers on Wellington Street to drive with caution due to the increased number of vehicles and people in the area before and after the event. It comes after a 45-year-old man died after he was hit by a bus on Wellington Street while crossing the road about 6.15pm on June 20. Cee's tour comes off the back of the January release of his long-awaited debut studio album that features guest appearances from Young Miko, 21 Savage, Dave, Lil Durk, Skepta and Lil Baby. He has been playing sold-out shows across Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and New Zealand before heading Down Under to perform in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Tickets to the Perth concert, which is two days before his birthday, are still available through Ticketek for $114.95. Regarded as a leading figure in UK rap, he rose to prominence in 2020 with the release of his drill singles Day in the Life and Loading. Other successful songs include Doja, Band4Band and Sprinter — the most streamed UK rap song last year. Aside from his music, Cee is also known for his streetwear fashion sense, often styling tracksuits, puffer jackets and skull caps. He even started a brand called Syna World in 2023 and has done some modelling for Nike and Jaquemus over the years. After his Perth concert, he will head to Saudi Arabia for a show on August 1.

Students Step Into Council Careers With ‘Day In The Life' Programme
Gisborne District Council welcomed rangatahi from across the region to experience a unique behind the scenes look at local government through its successful 'Day in the Life' programme earlier this month. The initiative gave Year 11–13 students the opportunity to shadow Council staff across a range of departments – from health and safety and monitoring and compliance to theatres and Kiwa Pools. Council's Senior Recruitment Advisor Renee Ngarimu said the programme was about more than just career exploration. 'It was designed to inspire students by showcasing the diverse career pathways available within Council and the meaningful mahi that supports the community every day,' she said. 'We wanted to give students a real sense of what it's like to work here – not just the tasks, but the values and teamwork that underpin everything we do. It was incredible to see their curiosity grow throughout the day. They asked thoughtful questions, got stuck into hands-on activities and left with a clearer picture of how their interests could align with future roles at Council.' Students explored roles in environmental compliance, health and wellbeing, lifeguarding and event production at the Smokefree Rockquest. Each experience was tailored to highlight the skills, challenges and rewards of working in local government. Maria Jefferson, Gisborne Boys' High School Assistant Principal Teaching and Learning Career Pathways praised the initiative. 'The team were absolutely fantastic in showing our students what a day in the life at Council could look like. Many of them had no idea just how many different roles exist within Council. The staff demonstrated true manaakitanga – they were welcoming, knowledgeable and generous with their time and insights. Our students left inspired and are now seriously considering how those career pathways could become a reality for them.' Council plans to run the 'Day in the Life' programme regularly, with future dates to be announced later this year. 'We're committed to supporting our young people in discovering their potential,' said Renee Ngarimu. 'This is just the beginning.'

London rapper Central Cee (or Oakley Caesar-Su to give him his non-stage name) rose to prominence in 2020 with drill singles Day in the Life and Loading.

Who is supporting Central Cee at his Glasgow gig? While 'special guests' have been promised, no support has yet been officially announced for Central Cee's Glasgow Hydro gig.

Central Cee review – UK rap superstar tentatively enjoys stadium success
Central Cee has exported UK rap like no one else before, by sculpting UK drill for TikTok with fast-paced, bite-sized packaging that often remixes a recognisable hit, all sealed with his steely demeanour. An influential fashion figure and Gen Z icon, his success is global and previously inconceivable. His 2023 hit Sprinter with Dave sat in pole position in the charts for 10 consecutive weeks. The crowd at Co-Op Live arena reflects his youth appeal all the way down to primary-schoolers. But while the squealing girls and balaclava-wearing boys have their fun, sometimes it feels as though the rapper is too reticent to join in. Arenas aren't suited to reserved characters, but Cench, as his fans call him, is smart enough to match the Co-Op's scale. He stands in front of a multitiered structure that, using screens, becomes an open dollhouse that tells the story of his come-up through the key places in his life, from his family home to his new pad. Unwinding into tracks from his initial mixtapes, his barbed flow rolls like a series of verbal jabs: 'Your dad left home from young / And you ain't done shit for your mum, ah man,' he berates on his breakout 2021 single Day in the Life. There being 20,000 pairs of eyes on him occasionally produces some wonderfully human moments that overcome his persona. However, if his tracks follow a formula, his performance on stage is no more mercurial. He sticks to a stiff set of hand gestures as if he's cycling through Fortnite emotes, and when guest verses are often played in their entirety, he's left clueless as to what to do on stage. There are no issues vocalising on the mic though. He is just as cosy traversing the Brazilian funk rhythm of CRG as he is the sepulchral atmospheres knocking with doom-stricken gunshot snares on St Patrick's. On an island stage, he flirts through Me & You in a black tank top and glittered snapback. Some people record on Snapchat, others resort to launching their phones on to the stage in the hopes of getting a photo from the social media king. His onscreen connection with fans defines the show, as he performs Gen Z Love through a live FaceTime with fans at the barricades. 'If it weren't for the algorithm, I wouldn't have found my woman,' he raps to the phone. Cench's biggest solo hits are thoroughly optimised to clock in at under two minutes, but on his debut album Can't Rush Greatness, he shoots for longer, verse-heavy tracks. So while tracks such as Doja are met with an almost unholy chorus of screams, the moment is over far quicker than tracks like Now We're Strangers, which are greeted with a more polite response. The show concludes with Cench hopping back in his Yaris, revealing the whole show to be a dream. If only we could relive the highlights some more. At the O2, London, on 24 April and Ovo Hydro, Glasgow, on 27 April
