Rain drop. Drop top. Frontier Touring and Illusive Presents are
extremely excited to announce the first ever Australian and New Zealand tour by
global rap and pop culture icons
Migos. Skrrrrtt! Inarguably the
hottest rap group on the planet right now, Migos will bring their live show our
way this October hitting stages across Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne
and Perth.
The Atlanta trio will join us off the back of an extraordinary year-long
winning streak that shows no signs of slowing down. In January, Migos released
their Billboard #1 album
Culturewhich spawned their breakthrough international mega-hit
Bad and Boujee – their first US #1
single which sits at a staggering 700 million plays across YouTube and Spotify.
The LP also features worldwide smashes
T-Shirt (270 million plays),
Slippery (80 million plays) and
Get Right Witcha (70 million plays),
all with accompanying remarkable music videos which have become a staple of the
Migos brand.
In the same period, Migos have become the must-have rap feature for the year’s
biggest pop hits – with stand-out appearances on Calvin Harris’
Slide (240 million Spotify streams)
and Katy Perry’s
Bon Appétit (200 million plays)
alongside singles from the likes of Sean
Paul andLil Yachty.
Simultaneously, Quavo,
who makes up one-third of Migos, has himself emerged as one of the world’s most
exciting rap stars in his own right with features on DJ Khaled’s
worldwide triumph
I’m the One alongside Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper andLil Wayne(500 million plays),Post Malone’s massive
Congratulations (440 million plays)
and Travis Scott’s
platinum single
Pick Up the Phone alongside Young Thug (180
million plays).
The three Migos members are close relatives – Takeoff is Quavo’s nephew and
Offset is Quavo’s cousin – who first appeared in public consciousness back in
2013 through their modern rap classic
Versace. The single generated so
much heat for the emerging group that Drakejumped on the official remix and Migos had officially arrived. In the following
years, the trio continued to build a huge cult following an incredibly prolific
series of mixtapes and their 2015 debut album
Yung Rich Nation.
Over half a decade into their career and the current undisputed biggest rap
group on the planet, the hype surrounding Migos’ first ever foray to our shores
is sure to be at fever pitch. Get your Versace ready. Versace, Versace,
Versace!

Frontier Touring and Illusive Presents are excited to announce that joining Migos on their first ever Australian and New Zealand tour will be the much-hyped prodigious rap star 6LACK, also in his first ever appearances in this region.
Hailing from the current epicentre of US hip-hop music, Atlanta, 6LACK (pronounced ‘black’) has risen to prominence in the past 12 months following the release of his hugely acclaimed debut album Free 6LACK. The LP features his breakout hits ‘PRBLMS’ (certified platinum) and ‘Ex Calling’ which have amassed over 150 million plays on Spotify and YouTube between them. In June, 6LACK released a new stand-alone single ‘That Far’ (8 million Spotify streams) which hints at things to come from the enigmatic phenomenon.
