Mos Def is most definitely on a plane to Australia…

Following much conjecture, re scheduling and about a thousand phone calls we’re very pleased to advise that Grammy Award-nominated rapper, actor and poet Mos Def’s Australian tour is all systems go!

At the time of this release, Mos Def is on a plane from LA to Melbourne. The majority of his touring party arrived here early this morning.

Mos’ previously cancelled Melbourne performance has now been re-confirmed at Billboards The Venue on Sunday 30th January, we’re extremely happy that we were able to follow through on our commitment to the Melbourne fans who’d previously bought tickets to this show.

The final, revised and confirmed tour schedule is as follows:

Saturday January 22 – The Hot BBQ Festival, Melbourne

Sunday January 23 – The Enmore Theatre, Sydney
www.ticketek.com.au or Enmore Theatre Box Office: www.enmoretheatre.com.au

Wednesday January 26 – The Hi Fi, Brisbane

Saturday January 29 –Venue TBC, Hobart

Sunday January 30 –Billboard The Venue, Melbourne

Everyone at Peace music has been working tirelessly to ensure that this tour has been delivered to time. While the tour’s arrived later than we intended, we like to think that some things are worth waiting for and we hope that Mos Def’s legion of Australian fans agree.
