Falls Festival acts Joey Bada$$ and Run The Jewels have officially confirmed two double headline shows for January 2015 in Sydney and Melbourne. The two Falls sideshows come as no surprise to fans of Run The Jewels, who leaked the dates earlier this month.
When RTJ members El-P and Killer Mike originally posted the dates a third headlining gig was listed to take place at The Hi-Fi, Brisbane on Friday, 9th January. The group’s official site, now lists that date’s location as Wellington, New Zealand. Sorry, Brisbane.
Fans should expect to hear some new material from Run The Jewels, whose sophomore record RTJ2 will drop in the US at the end of October and, hopefully, soon-after in Australia. The same goes for Joey Bada$$, with the Brooklyn MC’s debut album, B4.Da.$$, slated for release before the end of the year.
Tickets for both shows go on sale from 10am, Thursday 2nd October. Niche & My Live Nation members can grab tickets early via pre-sale, kicking off at 10am, Wednesday 1st October via Live Nation. Full tour details below.
