They’ll be teaming up to bring four massive arena shows to Aussie cities in March 2023. Kicking off on Thursday March 23 at Rod Laver Arena, the iconic lineup will also hit Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, and Brisbane Entertainment Centre in their five-day stint. 

This is Ice Cube’s first show in the country since making history in 2018 by being the first ever rap artist to headline at the Sydney Opera House.

“I love performing in Australia. It’s been four long years since my last visit and I can’t wait to return for a couple of history-making shows in 2023,” says Ice Cube.

Joining N.W.A’s seminal gangsta rapper is the genre-shifting Californian rappers Cypress Hill who will also be celebrating a 30th anniversary of their album Black Sunday which features, ‘Hits from the Bong,’ and ‘I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That.’

Completing the killer lineup is double-platinum artist The Game. Emerging in the early 2000s as one of the rawest voices on the West Coast scene, combining intense autobiographical narratives and a creatively referential approach to hip-hop that has justified his stage name.

The international hip-hop heavyweights will be joined by exciting homegrown Australian talent, still to be announced.

Presale for the tour starts on Tuesday November 22 at 2pm local time until Wednesday November 23 at 1pm, and general sale is from Wed November 23 at 2pm local.
