Busta Rhymes announces first Australian tour in 10 years

Words by Staff Writer

For the first time in Australia in over 10 years, Busta Rhymes is set to perform in Sydney and Melbourne.

With his unique flow, marked by complexity, humour, and inventiveness, Busta Rhymes has become one of the most recognisable voices in hip-hop.

His hits cater to rap purists, dancers, and genre-bending enthusiasts alike. Despite his prominence, Busta hasn’t toured Australia in over a decade. This highly anticipated tour is brought to you by 808 Live and Whatslively, coinciding with Busta Rhymes’ appearance at the popular Gold Coast festival Promiseland.

Busta Rhymes Melbourne and Sydney shows

  • Hordern Pavilion, Sydney – 8 Oct
  • Festival Hall, Melbourne – 9 Oct
  • Promiseland Festival, Gold Coast – 6 Oct

Lauryn Hill’s son and Bob Marley’s grandson, YG Marley, will support Busta Rhymes, bringing his cool, laconic style that has garnered mainstream attention with his viral hit single ‘Praise Jah in the Moonlight’.

It’s a chance to hear infectious classics like ‘Break Ya Neck’ and ‘Gimme Some More’, along with his feature work on mega-hits ‘Don’t Cha’ with The Pussycat Dolls and ‘I Know What You Want’ with Mariah Carey.
