Some collaborations arrive fully formed. Others take years, quietly assembling themselves in the background until the moment feels right. Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE have announced a run of Australian and New Zealand headline shows this May, the pair extend their upcoming Vivid LIVE appearance into something broader, more deliberate. It’s not just a tour, it’s a continuation of a dialogue that has been unfolding across projects, guest verses and mutual admiration for years.

Both artists arrive with momentum behind them. Earl Sweatshirt, who first emerged from Odd Future with a voice that felt both interior and incisive, has spent the past decade refining a style built on fragmentation and clarity in equal measure. His recent output continues to trace themes of growth, inheritance and self-reckoning with a measured, almost architectural precision.

MIKE, meanwhile, has carved out his own lane through a series of records that feel both immediate and elliptical. From the raw edges of MAY GOD BLESS YOUR HUSTLE to the more expansive scope of Showbiz!, his work balances intimacy with abstraction, pulling listeners into a world that feels both diaristic and communal.

Pre-sale begins Thursday 26 March at 8:00 AM AEDT, with general on-sale Friday 27 March at 9:00 AM AEDT.
