With the buzz still mounting in the lead-up to the release of their new album Circus In The Sky (out June 28th via Illusive), Bliss N Eso’s forthcoming Australian Tour has already ensnared fan demand, leading to sell-outs in Sydney and Brisbane.
In response, the hip hop forerunners have now announced a second and final Sydney show for the House Of Dreams Tour, playing the Enmore Theatre on Friday 5th July, which go on sale at 9am Wednesday 5th June.
Additionally, Bliss N Eso are bolstering their already impressive support lineup, which features USA’s Yelawolf and Aussie rapper Pez. The group are excited to add longtime friend and UK underground star, Jehst, to the bill. The English emcee collaborated with Bliss N Eso on ‘I Can’ from 2010’s #1 album Running on Air LP and joins an impressive lineup that will ensure a scintillating showing of hip-hop.
The House of Dreams Tour announcement comes off the back of the release of ‘Home Is Where the Heart Is’ – the first official single from their upcoming new album, following the cinematic music video for ‘House Of Dreams’ after which the July tour is named.
The seven-date trek will hit all mainland capital cities, including a number of all ages shows, and marks Bliss N Eso’s first headline national tour in two years, where in 2011 they headed out on the highest-selling tour by an Australian hip hop act to date.
The ‘House of Dreams’ 2013 tour will also present fans with the first to experience their new material first-hand, alongside their bevy of hits from their back catalogue.
“I really feel like we’re pushing ourselves more and evolving even further,” mused Bliss of the new album, in an interview with Tone Deaf ahead of the cancelled Movement Festival. “This is going to be our best record to date.”

The album’s first single, ‘House of Dreams’, was met with overwhelming support, and in terms of “overall [strength] in quality of the track,” Bliss says it’s an accurate sign of things to come.
Bliss N Eso have also confirmed the release date for their upcoming new album Circus in the Sky as Friday 28th June 2013, and pre-orders for the new record have been topping the iTunes hip-hop/rap Chart almost a month out from its release. It follows on from 2010’s hugely acclaimed Running on Air which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart and went on to achieve platinum sales.
The group are also headlining Queensland’s River Sessions 2013 festival in late June, ahead of storming some of the country’s most esteemed venues for the Hosue Of Dreams Tour.
Joining Bliss N Eso on tour will be two very special guests – rising Alabama rapper Yelawolf and fellow local superstar, Pez.
Since signing to Eminem’s Shady Records in 2011, Yelawolf has become one of the world’s most hyped emerging rap artists. In the years since, he’s released his critically acclaimed debut album Trunk Muzik and featured on tracks alongside the likes of Ed Sheeran, Big Boi, A$AP Rocky, Big K.R.I.T. and Blink 182′s Travis Barker just to name a few.
Melbourne’s Pez made his welcome return to the spotlight in recent months with the release of his latest single ‘The Game’ and is tipped for an enormous 2013 with the release of a new comeback album.
Bliss N Eso are regularly hailed as one of the most thrilling live acts in Australia, and considering their previous tour success, tickets to their first headline tour in years is sure to be snaffled up by fans in next to no time. Bliss N Eso are back. Don’t miss out!
