Run The Jewels, the hip-hop duo comprised of critically acclaimed emcees Killer Mike and El-P, have leaked a string of headline dates for when they’re in the country as part of the lineups for the upcoming Falls and Southbound festivals. Joining them for the dates will be fellow Falls act Joey Bada$$.
A string of international tour dates recently uploaded to Run The Jewels’ official website includes performances in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, in addition to their Falls and Southbound appearances. The tour comes in support of their sophomore album, RTJ2, out Stateside this October.
Run The Jewels’ newly updated tour dates also include an appearance at the 2015 instalment of Field Day. However, Field Day promoters Fuzzy Entertainment have confirmed to Music Feeds that the duo will not be appearing at the popular, annual Sydney-based urban, dance, and indie music event.
The pair was in the country earlier this year for Laneway Festival and Music Feeds managed to steal some time off El-P for a quick chat. Run The Jewels’ Laneway run also featured a string of star-studded hip-hop sideshows, that time performing with fellow Laneway acts Danny Brown and Earl Sweatshirt.
Aussie fans looking to catch Run The Jewels this January will want to act quick once ticket on-sale dates are announced. General public tickets for Falls Festival 2014/2015 went on sale this morning and organisers have confirmed that tickets for the event’s Lorne leg have already “completely sold out.”
