Jurassic 5 - Thebarton Theatre - Sun Mar 23

They’re baaack! Six years after they officially broke up, hip-hop innovators Jurassic 5 have announced they’re set to tour Australia. The six piece crew – made up of Chali 2na, Mark 7even, Zaakir, Akil, Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark – first reunited on the Coachella stage this April and have spent the major of 2013 taking their new live show around the world. Now, they’re headed our way.

Jurassic 5 will touch down in Australia in March of 2014, hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for a string of theatre shows. As the hardened Jurassic 5 fan will be well aware, the group are at legend status: since forming in 1993, they’ve delivered four big albums and a stack of huge singles, including the indispensable Quality Control and What’s Golden. “Musical differences” saw them split in 2007 with the various members focussing on solo careers, before Coachella finally brought them back together. Tickets to all Australian dates go on sale this Friday, December 13.

This is awesome news! I hope they drop a new album too. Chali 2na has one of the smoothest and most distinctive voices in hip-hop so it'll be nice to hear some new stuff from him/them. That track with the Hilltop Hoods in recent years was pretty cool, I thought.

I'd go to this if I was in Adelaide, they put on a really energising live show at the BDO a few years ago and Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark need no introduction when it comes to their turntable trickery!
