The generation defining Public Enemy clearly love Australia, and judging by the rate at they’re locking in Australian shows the feeling is mutual. With a schedule almost bursting from festival commitments, the gang have now announced a run of headlining performances seeing them stop off just about everywhere that counts.
The week commencing Sunday, 2nd March is going to be a hectic few days for Public Enemy who will be performing back-to-back headlining shows in a different city each night. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has found themselves marveling at the hip hop icons at one of their previous Australian shows, as Chuck D, Flavor Flav and pals pack as much energy as crews half their age.
The Immortals are also performing as part of Golden Plains Festival, Breath Of Life and the very fresh Perth Festival. It’s going to be a crazy few weeks for the ensemble, but when you’re deemed one of the most important artists of your generation, I suppose it becomes your duty to spread your good word.
