The Irish-Nigerian duo set the tone for what looks set to be a blockbuster day 2, with a chest-pounding early set on the Heineken Stage.
Day 2 of Longitude started with a bang on the Heineken Stage, with Ireland’s brightest rap and drill duo TraviS X Elzzz playing a pounding set to the early arrivers. While festival goers have the likes of Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert to look forward to this evening, Travis X Elzzz were the perfect act to kick off proceedings for the day.
The audience were treated to a mind-blowing set from the Irish-Nigerian artists. Their boundless energy and thumping beats set the tone for what looks set to be a sensational second day at Dublin's biggest festival.
TraviS X Elzzz kept their fans eager, arriving on stage to a buoyant reception from the excited crowd. Early tunes had the Heineken Stage rocking, with their newest single ‘Hey U’ especially resonating with their adoring audience.

The duo are natural born performers, and displayed a flawless synergy together on stage. The two bounced off each other, and no doubt brought the best from each other on the Longitude stage.
Travis raced around the stage, his trademark dreads and pearly white smile dazzling his admiring audience. Elzzz sported a new red tinted haircut with his typical gold framed glasses. The duo looked the part as one of Ireland’s best emerging young artists.
Their 2023 eight track album Full Circle was the highest charting rap album in Irish history, and gives you some idea of the heights the hotly tipped duo are set to reach.
They effortlessly built a rapport with their enraptured audience. They jumped into the crowd, instigated some crater-sized mosh pits and started a few glorious renditions of ‘Ole Ole Ole’.
The audience fed off their energy, and bounced to every note. “It’s time we take it to a higher level,” urged TraviS, before bursting into another crowd-pleaser.

They amped the crowd with incredible performances of ‘Pressure’, ‘Low Key Hating’ and ‘F**k Off’. Elzzz scaled the rafters of the stage to look over the electrified audience, and the duo even brought Irish rap icon Sello out on stage to further treat their audience.
They closed their smashing set with crowd favourite ‘BBB’, before leaving the stage as the crowd belted out one more raucous rendition of ‘Ole Ole Ole’. the duo were rightly serenaded by a crowd who only wished they could’ve stayed for more.
Travis X Elzzz’s show well and truly blew the roof off the Heineken Stage, and will go down as one of the most memorable performances by an Irish artist at Longitude for a long time.
