Ask any true hip-hop fan what the greatest debut of all time is and the answer will be shot right back at you again and again: Illmatic. Now, for the first time ever, one of the greatest emcees ever to grasp a mic, Nas, will be performing his timeless 1994 album live in Australia from start to finish.
Celebrating the album’s 20th anniversary, Nas has been taking his sold-out Illmatic tour around the globe over the past year to immense critical acclaim, and he’s finally giving Down Under its turn. Having previously been announced as part of the lineup for Melbourne’s Sugar Mountain Festival, Nas will now wow fans in Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.

Over the course of four one-night-only shows, Nas will take the stage to bring one of hip-hop’s crowning achievements to vibrant life, performing unforgettable cuts like ‘N.Y. State of Mind’, ‘The World Is Yours’, ‘Halftime’, ‘It Ain’t Hard to Tell’, and many more, each a certified classic of the genre.
