Billed as the 1300 Mania tour, the group will run up the east coast in May, with shows scheduled for Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. They’ll also head to Bali for a slot at Dream Machine festival.
1300 won’t be going it alone – they’ll be joined at the various stops on tour by emerging Melbourne rapper Mulalo, and Srirachi, GDC, SOLLYY, Sidney Phillips, Lil Ket and stealthyn00b. You can check out all the dates and details below.
1300: ‘Steve Jobs’ feat. Kwame
1300 have been busy bees since releasing their debut mixtape, 2022’s Foreign Language – which was shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Music Prize (King Stingray ended up taking out the award). Over the summer they dropped two new singles: ‘CARDIO’ and ‘Steve Jobs‘ (which featured Kwame), and surprise-released a new mixtape titled <3 (pronounced “less than three”) for Valentine’s Day.
The crew has been circling the country on tours with Genesis Owusu and Confidence Man, and notched up slots at Spilt Milk, Lost Paradise, and Falls Festival.
