Hip-Hop royalty, The Roots announce Australian tour!

MG Live and Frontier Touring proudly announce Grammy award-winning hip-hop visionaries The Roots east coast tour for January 2025 – the band’s first Australian headline tour in 12 years!  Joining The Roots at all shows as special guests will be US Brooklyn based MC Talib Kweli and three-time Grammy nominated songwriter from Melbourne, Nai Palm.

The Roots were co-founded by childhood friends Black Thought and Questlove in 1987 with their passionate and innovative approach to hip-hop playing underground gigs in Philadelphia, New York and across Europe. From releasing their debut album Organix in 1993, the band have gone on to release 11 studio albums and released legendary hip-hop hits including ‘You Got Me ft. Erykah Badu’, ‘Hang in There (with John Legend)’, ‘The Seed (2.0) ft. Cody ChesnuTT’, ‘Never ft. Patty Crash’, ‘The Next Moment’, ‘What They Do’ and ‘Don’t Say Nuthin’’.
