More than three decades since they first changed the sound of hip hop, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are entering a new chapter—reunited, revitalised, and ready to tour. The Grammy Award-winning US crew have confirmed they’ll return to Australia this October for a series of special shows featuring the original lineup: Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone.

Their return follows the release of new single AWW SHIT—a high-octane track delivered over a classic West Coast beat, released via Greenback Records—which marks the group’s first new material in two decades. With momentum building and their chemistry intact, the influential collective is once again focused on pushing boundaries and reconnecting with fans worldwide.

For Australian audiences, this tour is a rare opportunity to witness the full force of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s live presence and legacy. The group’s iconic sound—characterised by rapid-fire melodic flows and emotionally charged storytelling—has long secured their place in hip hop history, with over 60 million records sold globally.

Joining them on the tour are two West Coast heavyweights. First up, veteran MC Xzibit returns to Australia on the back of Kingmaker—his first studio album in over a decade. Featuring appearances from Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Ty Dolla $ign, the record is both a return to form and a celebration of his enduring relevance.

Also on the bill is Too $hort, a pioneering voice in Bay Area rap whose influence spans generations. With a deep catalogue that includes the recent Sir Too $hort Vol. 1 (Freaky Tales), he continues to shape the sound of the West through both legacy hits and modern collaborations.
