3% Announce 2024 Tour

Fresh off the back of releasing their debut album, KILL THE DEAD, today (August 9), First Nations hip-hop collective 3% have announced their 2024 tour - which kicks off tonight.

The tour comes in support of their new LP, beginning with a gig at Darwin’s Mayberry tonight, before a much-anticipated performance tomorrow (August 10) at the 20th anniversary of the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) in Larrakia/Darwin - where they’ve been nominated for two awards, including “Artist of the Year”.

They’ll then hit up Oxford Art Factory’s 17th Birthday Bash in Eora/Sydney on August 17, Blak Day Out in Meanjin/Brisbane on August 24, and From The Land Festival in Mparntwe/Alice Springs on August 31.

From there, they’ll head overseas, with two days of performances at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on September 20-21. Then 3% will come back home, playing three more shows to close out the tour: Eora/Sydney’s Oxford Arts Factory on October 4, Naarm/Melbourne’s Workers Club on October 19, and Meanjin/Brisbane’s Black Bear Lodge on October 31.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now.
