EPIK HIGH announce Melbourne show at The Forum

EPIK HIGH

EPIK HIGH will play The Forum this July as part of their mammoth multidate tour of the Asia Pacific – the first major tour by a K-POP act in over two years.

EPIK HIGH’s tour and Melbourne show at The Forum comes in conjunction with the release of the highly anticipated two-part album Epik High is Here (Part 1) and Epik High Is Here (Part 2). Their show is being presented through Victorian government initiative Always Live.

Formed in 2003, the trio’s signature blend of hip-hop and sharp lyrics positioned them as one of the most ground-breaking groups in Korean music, inspiring acts like BTS. Throughout their 20 years together, they have released hundreds of anthemic songs and in 2016 were the first Korean act to ever play Coachella. EPIK HIGH have released a whopping 11 studio albums, despite taking a hiatus while two members performed South Korea’s mandatory military service period.
