SAULT Announces Second Live Headline Show Amidst Little Simz Legal Dispute

SAULT confirms a London headline show for 2025 despite ongoing legal drama involving member Inflo and Little Simz.

SAULT Plans Second Headline Show in London for 2025

British collective SAULT has revealed their second ever live headline show scheduled for August 15, 2025, in London. This exciting news comes amid a legal dispute involving one of their key producers, Inflo, and acclaimed artist Little Simz.

Fans eager to secure their spot can sign up via a link in SAULT’s Instagram bio to “be the first in line” for the event.

A Rare Live Performance from a Mysterious Collective

SAULT is known for their enigmatic presence in the music world. Their first headline show took place only recently, in December 2023, at London’s Drumsheds. During that show, they performed their album Acts Of Faith live for the very first — and so far only — time. Despite teasing a global tour, no official plans have yet come to fruition.

According to social media hints, their world tour plans include showcasing different albums in various cities:

• 5 in New York
• Black in Los Angeles
• Untitled (Rise) in Canada
• 11 in Germany
• Air in Paris
• Earth in Africa

This ambitious itinerary suggests SAULT aims to bring their profound musical narratives to audiences worldwide.

Who’s Behind SAULT?

The band maintains a veil of anonymity around its members. However, Inflo is widely considered the collective’s leader. Vocal contributions come from talented artists such as Cleo Sol, Kid Sister, Chronixx, and others, all often uncredited officially.

“They were great, but it’s more the situation of who I made them with. In letting go of that relationship, I had to let go of that music… It’s like having a kid with someone. You might split with the person, but you don’t just stop loving the kid.” — Little Simz

Legal Battle Between Inflo and Little Simz

This show announcement arrives while Inflo faces a lawsuit from Little Simz. The acclaimed rapper and singer sued Inflo in March, accusing him of withholding £1.7 million (roughly $2 million USD) in loans she made to him. She also alleges Inflo failed to properly account for funds provided by Sony, which were designated for recording expenses.

One specific point of contention involves a £1 million loan Simz gave Inflo to secure SAULT’s only live show to date — the Drumsheds performance in London. The lawsuit claims Inflo did not repay Simz by the agreed deadline in early December 2023. Because of this, Simz allegedly struggled to pay her taxes in full, incurring additional interest charges.

Inflo has yet to respond publicly to these allegations.

Little Simz Opens Up About the Impact

In an interview earlier this year, Little Simz revealed she started—and subsequently abandoned—four different album projects while working on her follow-up to No Thank You, many of which were made with Inflo. The breakdown of their relationship deeply influenced her creative process.

She described her frustration and heartbreak, saying, “I was really frustrated and hurt, and I wanted to scream. But it’s tricky starting off on that foot sometimes.” Simz and Inflo’s connection dates back to childhood, having met at St. Mary’s Youth Club in London. Simz has been a close collaborator with SAULT, appearing alongside Inflo’s wife Cleo Sol and Michael Kiwanuka during their 2023 live show.

SAULT’s immersive live show in London featured guest appearances and a unique setlist.

What’s Next for SAULT and Their Fans?

With SAULT confirming a second headline show, fans have something exciting to look forward to despite the storm swirling around Inflo and Little Simz. This event could be a sign that new music and live performances are on the horizon, perhaps even hinting at the elusive world tour we've heard whispers about.

Will these legal troubles affect SAULT’s future releases or touring plans? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear: SAULT is a collective that thrives on mystery and musical depth, making every announcement a cause for excitement.
