“There's so many bangers on this record that are constantly requested but we rarely get to play live, so to break these bad boys out for the first time in years and let ‘em rip all together is going to be INSANE."

Legendary Australian hip-hop trio Bliss n Eso have announced that they’re again set to hit the stage in 2023 with their Flying Colours 15th Anniversary Tour this October.

It’s bound to be a major milestone for the Sydney musos, who will be celebrating 15 years of their iconic, ARIA Award-winning, Platinum certified, top 10 Flying Colours album.

Considered Australian hip-hop legends, with three No.1 albums and an extensive sweep of ARIA-certified Platinum and Gold singles, Bliss N Eso have truly earned their star status and are set to bring the fire to their upcoming Aussie tour.

Following a huge 2022 touring up and down the country on not one but two Australian tours – The Sun Tour & Wheel Of Tunes Tour - Bliss n Eso will take on six huge new dates kicking off on Friday 6 October at Metropolis Fremantle.

They’ll then head to Adelaide on Saturday 7 October for a show at Hindley Street Music Hall, onto Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Friday 13 October, Hobart’s Uni Bar on Saturday 14 October, Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Friday 20 October before heading to The Tivoli in Brisbane for their final show of the tour on Saturday 21 October.

Speaking of the anniversary tour, MC Bliss said, “Honestly, this album was such gamechanger for us and we’re so pumped to be hitting the road to celebrate its 15th anniversary with all our beloved fans.”

“We are blessed to have had such an amazing career that is still as strong as ever and Flying Colours was truly such a pivotal point in our trajectory. Even when I play it today I can really hear that monumental shift in our sound and growth as artists.”

“It's rare these days that a body of work stands the test of time and still means so much to so many people."

Bliss continued, “Even more than winning our first ARIA award with this album, it was the deep connection with our fans this album created that really spawned the fanbase we have today and that’s what means the most." 

To commemorate the tour, the original Flying Colours album will also be pressed on vinyl for the first time (released via Flight Deck/Mushroom on Fri 3 Nov), with pre-orders live from Thursday, July 20 here.

With two limited edition versions of the vinyl – Transparent Red and Gold – fans will be able to purchase this special piece of Bliss N Eso memorabilia as a reminder of the impact the Flying Colours project had on Aussie music.

“There's so many bangers on this record that are constantly requested but we rarely get to play live, so to break these bad boys out for the first time in years and let ‘em rip all together is going to be INSANE,” Bliss added.

“And of course to finally release this truly special album on vinyl for the FIRST TIME EVER is just the icing on the cake!”
