Joining the reunion tour are two fellow hip hop legends who helped define West Coast rap culture. Xzibit brings his first studio album in over a decade, KINGMAKER, featuring collaborations with Dr. Dre, Ty Dolla $ign and Ice Cube. The multi-platinum artist has maintained a strong Australian following throughout his career and will showcase new material alongside classic hits.

Bay Area pioneer Too $hort completes the lineup as a foundational figure whose music shaped the West Coast movement during the 90s and 2000s. His recent album SIR TOO $HORT, VOL. 1 (FREAKY TALES) demonstrates his continued relevance in contemporary hip hop, with his distinctive sound frequently sampled on modern hits.

Regarded as the world’s most influential rap group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s impact extends far beyond sales figures. Their unique rapid-fire delivery style and melodic approach to rap influenced countless artists and helped define the sound of 90s hip hop. Multi-platinum albums and chart-topping singles established their position as genre innovators who bridged the gap between hardcore rap and mainstream accessibility.

The reunion represents more than nostalgia, with all five members appearing hungry to explore new creative territories while honouring their extensive catalogue. Their latest collaboration demonstrates the chemistry that made them cultural phenomenons, with each member contributing distinct vocal styles over contemporary West Coast production.

Australian audiences will witness this historic reunion across four carefully selected venues, each offering different experiences from intimate club settings to major arena spectacles. The tour marks a rare opportunity to see all original members perform together, making these shows essential viewing for hip hop enthusiasts and music fans seeking authentic cultural experiences.
