After kicking off 2016 with an Australian live debut earlier this year playing the likes of Origin NYE and Brisbane’s FOMO Festival as well as freestyling live on air at triple j, UK’s top grime act Skepta is bound Down Under yet again for his first ever headline tour and biggest run of shows to date.
Expect nothing but show stopping performances when Skepta hits Melbourne for two consecutive nights of partying, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
The news exploded after the release of his much-awaited album “Konnichiwa”, featuring a collaboration with Pharrell Williams, two silver-certified hits and guest appearances from A$AP Mob. Still shining bright in his decade-long MC career, “Konnichiwa” marks Skepta’s fourth full length studio release and embodies a scene’s ability to shift on its own terms, as proven by the album's remarkable success.
From his humble London beginnings to co-signs from the likes of Kanye West and Drake, Skepta is truly an artist at the top of his game. His single Shutdown has now amassed over thirty million listens online, and his album boasts over 45 million streams on Spotify following its release this May.
