It’s been known for a long while now that Die Antwoord are planning to wrap their album-making up with one final (and no-doubt completely bonkers) LP, and it seems that moment is finally arriving.
As reported by Pitchfork, the rap duo have announced their fifth and final album The Book of Zef, and a world tour to go along with it. Could this be the last chance for fans to catch their beloved South African performance artists/genuine nutcases?
While they insist that this will be their last full-length record, they claim they won’t be breaking up, although we’d be grabbing our tickets for the tour all the same. Unfortunately, this ‘world tour’ is so far planning to skip over Asia and Australia entirely, meaning you’ll need to take a casual trip to the US or Europe to head along.
You can check out the long list of international dates below, accompanied by their latest piece of work, ‘Love Drug’ – sadly, without a proper video clip to go along with it.
