Woah, woah, woah! Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar came here for some stupidly good arena shows, and now another TDE member is coming back Down Under: Bucket hat aficionado himself, ScHoolBoy Q.

The news has been broken by Newcastle festival THIS THAT, which has announced ScHoolBoy Q as their headliner with a full line-up to arrive on August 2. THIS THAT will be the West Coast rapper’s only Australian festival appearance for the year. Seeing as Newcastle is the Mecca that spawned both Joey Johns and Life Without Andy, this is a good excuse to head up to Newcastle and attend THIS THAT as well as spending a few nights getting moderately turnt at The Argyle House aka Fanny’s.

UPDATE: Full Australian tour dates have now also been announced, with tickets on sale from midday on Tuesday July 19 via Live Nation:

Friday November 4: Sydney, Hordern Pavilion
Tuesday November 8: Brisbane, Eatons Hill
Wednesday November 9: Melbourne, Festival Hall
Thursday November 10: Perth, Metro City

ScHoolBoy Q is riding a huge wave with his album Blank Face emerging this week and starring the likes of Kanye West, Anderson.Paak, SZA and this one legend that goes by the name of Jadakiss. Huge! Head along to THIS THAT on November 5th to yell along to ‘Collared Greens’ very loudly, and mark down August 2 in your calendar to see the full THIS THAT lineup:
