Update: The Auckland show has now been moved to a larger venue with more tickets available here. An upgrade to sold out Australian shows is arriving soon.
English emcee Skepta helped Australians welcome in 2016 when he toured for Field Day, FOMO and his own headline dates – with shows selling out convincingly off the back of a grime resurgence that has thrown the English underground into global attention.
Skepta has just released his album Konnichiwa, which featured ever-popular anthems like ‘That’s Not Me’ and ‘Shutdown’ as well as unapologetically brash new joints like ‘Man’. Everyone from production master Pharrell Williams to the godfather of grime Wiley also appeared on the full-length, and now Skepta has announced yet another run of tour dates for 2016. We knew something big was coming after his Triple J interview on Friday, and this time he updates his venues yet again for his biggest Australian tour ever.
The past few months have seen newcomers like Novelist to legends like D Double E tour Australia with success, so it seems like the grime in Australia isn’t dying down anytime soon – and Skepta’s tour is sure to maintain the hype levels. See all the dates below:
