Genre-bending UK rapper V.I.C is bringing his sharp bars and even sharper style to Australian shores for the very first time.
UK rapper V.I.C is heading down under, with his first ever Australian tour confirmed for Sydney and Melbourne this September.
The Nigerian-born, UK-raised artist has been carving out his own lane in alternative rap, blending sharp lyricism with a sound that refuses to sit still.
V.I.C first broke through on a global scale when his single A Teen landed on the soundtrack for the FIFA 22 videogame, introducing his sound to a massive new audience and showing off the influence of artists like Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper, Wretch 32 and Stormzy.
That moment set the stage for follow-up tracks Wasteman and Diamond, both of which appear on his 2025 EP VÄRIANT.
V.I.C
- Sydney – Oxford Art Factory – 3 September (18+)
- Melbourne – The Night Cat – 5 September (18+)

Off the back of a huge 2025, V.I.C was named BBC’s Introducing Act of the Year and took to the stage at Reading & Leeds Festival, cementing his reputation for a high impact live show that’s been turning heads across the UK and Europe.
With his debut album Industry Games set to land later this year, V.I.C is stepping into a defining new chapter, and he’s bringing that momentum straight to Australian audiences for his debut headline shows.
Tickets for both shows go to an MG Live presale first, kicking off Monday 29 June at 11am local time and running for 24 hours or until allocation runs out, with a limit of 10 tickets per purchaser per transaction.
The presale isn’t a guarantee of better seats, just an earlier shot at securing a spot before the general public on sale lands on Tuesday 30 June at midday local time, also capped at 10 tickets per purchaser per transaction.
With a debut album on the way and a live show that’s already winning over UK and European crowds, V.I.C’s first Australian tour looks set to be a serious moment for fans of genre-bending rap.
