Lil Yachty announces headline shows for July

Already announced for Splendour In The Grass 2017, rap's next big thing LIL YACHTY will play a string of sideshows, his very first headline shows in Australia.

Wrapping up a sold out, headlining North America tour this past summer, LIL YACHTY will play Sydney's Big Top July 20 ahead of his appearance at Splendour the following day. The Atlanta rapper will continue on to take over Melbourne's Prince Bandroom July 22, Metro City in Perth July 23 before crossing the pond to Auckland's Powerstation July 25.

Tickets for all shows will go on sale at 10am Thursday April 13.

LIL YACHTY hit the Billboard charts with his 2015 singles 'Minnesota' (#84 Hot 100 Chart) and '1 Night' (#36 R B/Hip-hop Chart) before his 'Summer Songs 2' mixtape debuted at #3 on iTunes. With all eyes firmly on him, influential XXL Magazine declared him 'rap's next big thing'.

His recent debut headline tour The Boat Show Tour was a sell out across North America before joining fellow up-and-comers Rae Sremmurd's wildly successful Sremmlife II Tour.

With the release of his debut album 'Teenage Emotions' imminent, expect the hype to follow LIL YACHTY all the way down under this July.
