The run will kick off March 23 at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, continuing to Adelaide Entertainment Centre on March 25. The tour will head to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena the following evening, wrapping up at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 28.

In addition to the headliners, each show will feature local supports from “homegrown Australian talent”, who are yet to be announced. Tickets for the shows go on sale next Wednesday (November 23) at 2pm local time. A pre-sale will commence a day earlier, which you can register for here .

The tour marks Ice Cube’s first Australian shows since 2018, when he performed a string of shows at the Sydney Opera House for that year’s Vivid Live festival. It comes in support of the 30th anniversary of his fourth studio album, 1993’s ‘Lethal Injection’.

“I love performing in Australia,” the rapper said in a statement announcing the shows. “It’s been four long years since my last visit and I can’t wait to return for a couple of history-making shows in 2023.”

For Australian Cypress Hill fans, the wait has been even longer, with the trio last touring the country in late 2014. Since then, they’ve released two new albums – 2018’s ‘Elephants On Acid’, and ‘Back In Black’, which arrived earlier this year.

The Game, meanwhile, hasn’t toured Australia in more than a decade, last performing in the country in 2011. The rapper’s 10th studio album, ‘Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind’, was released in August.

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and The Game’s 2023 Australian tour dates are:

MARCH Thursday 23 – Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena Saturday 25 – Adelaide, Entertainment Centre Sunday 26 – Sydney, Qudos Bank Arena Tuesday 28 – Brisbane, Entertainment Centre

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game announce Australian Tour dates for 2023

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game announce Australian Tour dates for 2023

  • January 31, 2023

In a holy trinity of 90s Hip Hop royalty, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, and The Game have announced fresh tour dates for Australia. They’ll be teaming up to bring four massive arena shows to  Melbourne , Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane in March 2023; fans can expect an explosive show packed with the iconic and timeless rhymes they all know and love.

O’Shea Jackson Sr., AKA Ice Cube, is an American rapper, actor, filmmaker, and one of the most influential names in hip hop, His lyrics on  N.W.A ‘s 1988 album Straight Outta Compton were instrumental in gangsta rap becoming popular around the world, including the iconic hit nwa’s fuck tha police and his politically-driven solo albums AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, Death Certificate, and The Predator gained critical and commercial success. In addition to his perhaps equally iconic career in film, Ice Cube’s  musical  victories saw him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the group N.W.A. in 2016.

This will be Cube’s first show in the country since making history in 2018 as the first-ever rap artist to  headline  at the Sydney Opera House, “I love performing in Australia. It’s been four long years since my last visit, and I can’t wait to return for a couple of history-making shows,” says Mr Cube.

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game announce Australian Tour dates for 2023

Known for captivating millions of listeners, Cypress Hill has a massive array of fans around the world thanks to its sensational stage show. The California rap group ushered in a new genre of hip-hop, performing thousands of shows at a time when rappers were having a hard time getting booked and one of the driving forces for rappers to use Spanish in their rhymes.

Along the way, they earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sold more than 9 million albums, and were nominated for three Grammy Awards. Another anniversary, next year will be 30 years since the crew released their album, Black Sunday, which features, ‘Hits from the Bong,’ and ‘I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That.’

Completing the killer lineup is   double-platinum artist  The Game . Emerging in the early 2000s as one of the rawest voices on the West Coast scene, combining intense autobiographical narratives and a creatively referential approach to hip-hop that has justified his stage name. The international hip-hop heavyweights will be joined by exciting homegrown Australian talent, still to be announced.

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and The Game

  • Music, Rap, hip hop and R&B

Time Out says

Calling all '90s hip-hop fans, this stadium tour is insane in the membrane

In news that’s got teens of the '90s giddy, some of hip-hop’s heavy-hitters are making their way Down Under in March 2023. American rapper and actor Ice Cube is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his famous 1993 Lethal Injection album, with Cypress Hill and The Game in tow. They’ll be performing at the Qudos Bank Arena, as well as in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brissy. 

They’re big names, and the shows will be big, in-your-face productions. “I love performing in Australia. It’s been four long years since my last visit and I can’t wait to return for a couple of history-making shows in 2023,” says Mr Cube, who’s famous for politically-driven solo albums. He's also known for his lyrics on N.W.A’s 1988 album Straight Outta Compton , which were instrumental in the development of gangsta rap. Ice Cube’s musical mastery saw him and N.W.A. inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Californian rap group Cypress Hill of ‘Insane in the Brain’ fame earned fans around the world (as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and three Grammy Award nominations) thanks to their genre-shifting sonic tapestry. The group introduced Latino sounds and rhymes to hip-hop. Cypress Hill also celebrates an anniversary next year – 2023 will be 30 years since they released Black Sunday , the album featuring songs like ‘Hits from the Bong’ and ‘I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That’. 

Then there’s double-platinum artist The Game, who emerged from the US’s West Coast hip-hop scene in the early 2000s with his intensely autobiographical narratives. 

These huge international acts will also be joined by some exciting homegrown Aussie talent (still to be announced). 

Tickets go on sale to the public at 2pm (local time) on Wednesday, November 22, 2022. Buy tickets here .

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game Announce Massive Australian Tour

Ice Cube celebrates the 30th anniversary of 'Lethal Injection' with his biggest shows in Australia to date.

cypress hill tour australia 2023

90s hip-hop music is alive and well - Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, and The Game are heading to Australia in March 2023 for a run of arena shows. 

The fun kicks off on Thursday, 23 March, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, then heads to Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, and Brisbane Entertainment Centre in a mega five-day stint. The three iconic acts will bring large-scale, next-level production to our stages.

Born O'Shea Jackson Sr and professionally known as Ice Cube, the American rapper, actor, and filmmaker has enjoyed success and adoration over a 36-year entertainment career. H is lyrics on N.W.A 's  1988 album Straight  Outta Compton were  crucial in  gangsta rap's widespread popularity. His  politically-driven solo records,  AmeriKKKa's Most  Wanted ,  Death Certificate ,  and  The Predator, are now iconic. Ice Cube was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2016 as a member of N.W.A.

Ice Cube made Australian history in 2018, becoming the first rapper to headline the Sydney Opera House. His return in 2023 marks his first time playing in the country since that show and lines up with the 30th anniversary of his 1993 album, Lethal Injection.

" I love performing in Australia. It's been four long years since my last visit, and I can't wait to return  for a couple of history-making shows in 2023," Ice Cube revealed.

Cypress Hill are renowned for their epic stage show. The California rap group are genre-shifting chameleons and performed thousands of shows when rappers struggled to get booked and crucially helped pave the way for rappers to use Spanish in their rhymes.

Ice Cube and Cypress Hill still do it better than most

  • X (formerly Twitter)

It's the biggest hip hop tour of 2023 so far, and a line-up like this will take some beating.

Californian icons Ice Cube and Cypress Hill are in town, 29 years after their last co-headline tour of Australia, and they're gonna show us that these legends of the game still have plenty of fire in their belly.

With all respect to The Game, a West Coast hip hop superstar in his own right, his last-minute withdrawal from this tour seems like a blessing when A.B. Original rip through their searing set of hardcore hip hop.

'Take Me Home', '2 Black 2 Strong', 'King Billy Cokebottle' and 'January 26' sound enormous on tonight's massive stage, a stage that Briggs and Trials are not even remotely intimidated by. They own every inch of it, and deliver a set that's relentless and world class.

It has been many years since most of us saw A.B. Original play live, long enough for some to have forgotten just how potent a force these two men are together. With new music on the way and plenty left to say, we can only hope they'll be in our faces a hell of a lot more in the coming year.

It won't surprise you to hear that Cypress Hill 's B-Real , one of the defining voices of both 90s hip hop and stoner culture, ambles onstage smoking a joint tonight.

What might surprise you, however, is that he's an indefatigable force who does not miss a beat all night. A poster child for the functioning stoner.

Cypress Hill's set is marred by poor sound, a technical issue they acknowledge and apologise for. Thankfully it's not enough to entirely kill the vibe, which is laidback, intense and euphoric in different parts.

B-Real barely stops for a breath as he punches through versions of stoner anthems 'Roll It Up, Light It Up, Smoke It Up', 'I Wanna Get High', 'Cisco Kid', 'Dr. Greenthumb', and 'Hits From the Bong'. The crowd passes around a comically enormous inflatable joint, as the air fills with the smell of… well you can probably guess.

Sen Dog , an equally key part of Cypress Hill who provides rock solid support to B-Real for much of the show, gets a chance to really shine on 1998 track 'Tequila Sunrise' and 'Latin Lingo' from the group's formidable 1991 debut.

'Hand On The Pump' and 'How I Can Just Kill A Man' from that same record goes down a treat with the crowd, both still sounding super vital over 30 years from their release.

When those technical issues get too much to bear, and DJ Lord is taken out of commission for a moment, Sen Dog, B Real and percussionist Eric Bobo deliver an impressive version of 'I Ain't Goin' Out Like That', showing supreme class under pressure.

'Rock Superstar' is an epic song that reminds us just how much extravagant, blockbuster sounding hip hop was being made in the early 2000s. Even in a set packed to the brim with classic songs, their 1993 anthem 'Insane In The Brain' closes out the set on an even greater high (no pun intended) than they'd hit previously tonight.

Forget what you think you know about stoners, there's no childish skits or goofing around here – it's all business. Theirs is such a solid, no bullshit show. All four members earn their keep across an hour jam-packed with iconic songs, all of them as potent as ever.

Ice Cube has a legacy like few others. Thirty-five years on from N.W.A.'s ground-breaking album Straight Outta Compton – a record that terrified as many as it inspired – he's making sure we don't forget who started this gangsta shit.

He wastes no time getting to the point, ripping through Dr Dre collabs 'Natural Born Killaz' and 'Hello', before taking us way back with 'Check Yo Self' and 'Friday', two iconic and thrilling throwbacks that truly make it feel like the mid-90s all over again. At least for those of us in the crowd who were alive at the time.

If his pre-set playlist wasn't enough, Cube further shows his love of funk and soul with a version of 'Bop Gun (One Nation)', before WC, Cube's right-hand man for the entire set, fires up and delivers killer verses on Westside Connection tunes 'Bow Down' and 'Gangsta Nation'.

'You Know How We Do It' closes out this part of the set, after which Cube says the fun is over and it's time for things to get serious. He's not lying, what comes next feels like a significant gear shift and one that gives this set extra depth.

He delivers a couple of 2000s cuts, 'Why We Thugs' and 'Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It', and does so with a palpable fury. The party isn't over, it's just paused, as he fires off missives about the hypocrisy of blaming hip hop for societal ills while ignoring the systematic forces that drive some young black men to crime.

It's not a point he labours, and these songs won't be highlights for many tonight, but it's an important spot of shade among the brightness of the rest of his set and one that sees him dig deep for some of his most incendiary performances of the night.

Anyone expecting a cavalcade of N.W.A. hits might be disappointed, but high energy versions of 'Straight Outta Compton' and 'Gangsta Gangsta' get everyone screaming along.

Cube spends a decent chunk of time reflecting on the legacy of his infamous group and just how wild it was to be a teenager in "the world's most dangerous group".

He also talks about leaving the group before ripping through a vicious 'No Vaseline', the diss track he felt compelled to write and that he claims is still the greatest diss track ever written. You don't get to be Ice Cube without that kind of confidence.

'You Can Do It' very much brings back the party vibe and even though we all see it coming from a mile off, no one can deny how good it feels to hear that Isley Brothers sample that signals the start of set closer 'It Was A Good Day'.

The quality of Cube's material speaks for itself, but it's his ability as a performer that keeps him such a relevant force in 2023.

He raps with a clarity that sees him stand head and shoulders above so many of his peers. You can make out every single word he says in every song, so crisp is his delivery. We can't be sure if rapping made him a better actor, but it's very possible that acting has made him a better rapper.

The stage show is extremely understated. Just the two MCs, a couple of screens projecting well-crafted visuals, and lighting that is bold and effective but not particularly flashy. Its simplicity is effective.

The show is generally well paced, and the between song banter is sharper and more gripping than you'll see at most rap shows. It's still riddled with cliche – it has literally never mattered which side of a crowd is louder – and, honestly, it's not even all that funny, but it pushes the set along nicely.

His best moment of chat comes with the declaration that hip hop at its best when we're sharing stories and seeing the similarities in our stories, despite how great our differences might seem.

It's a fitting comment. Brisbane is a far cry from Los Angeles in the 80s. For most of us, these stories do not necessarily echo our lived experiences. But there are undoubtedly parts of his art that resonate strongly with some, and for those who can't necessarily relate, we can at least listen and learn.

There are roughly 13,000 people here tonight, relishing the stories and songs of one of the world's great modern-day poets, and Ice Cube gives us every reason to buy a ticket again when he inevitably returns.

"I remember when they said hip hop was a fad," he says towards the end of tonight's set. "That it wouldn’t last. Now it’s the biggest genre in the motherfucking world."

If experienced campaigners like Ice Cube and Cypress Hill can continue setting an example as strong as this, there's no reason the genre can't get bigger and better across the next 35 years.

Ice Cube & Cypress Hill Start Their Joint Australian Tour This Week

Ice Cube & Cypress Hill Start Their Joint Australian Tour This Week

Chris Singh

UPDATE [22/03/2023]: The Game will no longer be performing alongside Ice Cube and Cypress Hill when the rap legends tour Australia this month. Replacing the Compton rapper will be A.B. Original.

Original Article – Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game Are Touring Australia In March 2023

All three acts are set to play some massive arena shows around Australia in late March 2023 across just five days, kicking off at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, heading to Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and then wrapping up at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

All three acts have played numerous shows in Australia over the past decade, with the most recent being Cube’s earth-shattering performance at the Sydney Opera House in 2018. He joined the likes of Wu-Tang Clan and Kanye West before him as some of the only rappers to play on Australia’s most iconic stage, validating his status are one of the industry’s most prolific, important and influential emcees.

Headliner Ice Cube will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of his 1993 album, Lethal Injection , so it’s more than likely a few of the singles from that banger should be creeping onto the setlist. Expect to hear the Funkadelic-laced ‘Bop Gun (One Nation),’ smash hit ‘You Know How We Do It,’ and fan-favourites like ‘Really Doe’ and ‘Ghetto Bird.’

The Game has also got plenty of acclaim to his name. Ever since bursting onto the scene as 50 Cent’s protege with 2015’s The Documentary , his gruff voice has made a massive impact at the cross-section of gangster rap and pop, borrowing some of 50’s radio-friendly sensibility but managing to bring more shades of Compton to the table and paving the way for new-age west coast rappers like Kendrick Lamar and YG.

It’s looking like the promoters behind the massive tour want to turn the triple bill into a bit of a festival as well. A bunch of Australian support acts should be announced closer to the date and we’ll update this piece when they are.

The Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and The Game shows in Australia are the latest to be added to the schedule of live music helping kick off 2023. The others includes:

  • Arctic Monkeys
  • Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  • Freddie Gibbs
  • The Backstreet Boys
  • Joey Bada$$

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game Australian Tour 2023

Thursday, March 23 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Saturday, March 25 – Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Adelaide Sunday, March 26 – Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Tuesday, March 28 – Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane

Tickets go on sale from 1 PM local time on Wednesday, November 23.

Recent tour reviews

Had a great time seeing an listening to Cypress Hill at the show. They looked and sounded great musically and lyrically! The only issue was it seemed Madball was rushed and didn't really get to play many of their classic songs because of the time constraints and Cypress Hills intro before any of their music was even played was longer than Madballs while set! That was a shame because Madball really could've had an opportunity to showcase they're really good stuff and got the crowd even more pumped for Cypress Hill and likewise afforded Cypress Hills fans to a more diverse enjoyable musically crossover experience.

The show was amazing despite there being very little or no moshing at all. I've seen Cypress Hill many times before and the crowd wasn't as hype as other times. Drinks prices are ridiculous at this particular venue. Regardless I would come see Cypress Hill again and again.

I saw Cypress Hill 3 times back from around '93-'01, & they were unbelievably unbelievable!! I only love & worship them even more. Each & every time I saw 'em I got stoned righteously before every concert so I could see & hear the music exactly how it was meant to be heard. I loved 'em the first time I ever heard 'em & my love for 'em has only continued to grow & get even better as the years go by!!!!!

This impressive lineup is a 90s and 00s hip hop and rap fan's dream come true.

Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and The Game: 2023 Australian Tour

Add three more names to the hefty list of big music stars heading Australia's way in 2023: Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and The Game. In what's basically a 90s and 00s hip hop and rap fan's dream come true, the trio are teaming up on the same bill for an Aussie arena tour, including hitting Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne in autumn.

This isn't just any old nostalgia-dripping tour, either. It'll also mark the 30th anniversary of two influential albums: Ice Cube's Lethal Injection and Cypress Hill's Black Sunday . The former was the N.W.A member's fourth solo release, and included singles 'Really Doe', 'You Know How We Do It' and 'Bop Gun (One Nation)', while the latter gave the world 'Insane in the Brain', 'Hits from the Bong', 'When the Shit Goes Down' and 'I Ain't Goin' Out Like That'.

cypress hill tour australia 2023

Expect to hear plenty of those songs get a whirl on Thursday, March 23 in the Victorian capital.

For Ice Cube, the tour marks his first visit to Australia since 2018, when he became the first-ever rap artist to headline at the Sydney Opera House.

"I love performing in Australia. It's been four long years since my last visit and I can't wait to return for a couple of history-making shows in 2023," said the rapper, aka O'Shea Jackson Sr (and yes, his son O'Shea Jackson Jr did play him in N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton ).

Ice Cube and Cypress Hill will be joined by The Game, who came to fame in the 00s in the West Coast scene. The US talents will also feature Aussie talent in support, with exactly who else will take to the stage yet to be announced.
