J. Cole Announces Australian and New Zealand Tour Dates
J. Cole is bringing his first solo headline tour in five years to Australia and New Zealand later this year.
After years of anticipation, J. Cole has officially announced his return to the global stage, unveiling ‘The Fall-Off Tour’ – a massive worldwide run including Australia and New Zealand.
J. Cole has stated ‘The Fall Off’, his seventh studio album, will be his final record project. It features guest appearences from Burna Boy, Erykah Badu, Future, Morray, Petey Pablo, PJ, and Tems.
“Some of the very first verses for ‘The Come Up’ [J’s 2007 debut mixtape] were written when I was just 19 years old. The title of that project, the first one that I would ever release, had a double meaning,” J. Cole recently posted.
“There was the obvious one; my ambitions to ‘come up’ in the rap game. The second was more subtle; my physical change of location to do so.
“I was a delusional teenager from Fayetteville, North Carolina, who had decided to leave home and ‘come up to New York City on a dream0chasing mission.
“When you listen to that project you hear a college kid with real sharp pen, telling the world how he’s going to make it and proudly put his unknown city on the map in the process.
“Towards the of ‘The Come Up’, a couple of skits tell a common story for me at that age. Me, driving back home from school on a holiday break, calling my mom to let her know I’m a few hours away, then calling my homeboys, excited to let them know I’m back in town, asking where the party at?
“‘The Fall-Off’, a double album made with intentions to by my last [record], brings the concept of my first project full circle.
“Disc 29 tells a story of me returning to my home town at age 29. A decade after moving to New York, accomplishing what would have seemed impossible to most, I was at a crossroads with the three loves of my life: woman, my craft, and my city.
“Disc 39 gives insight into my mindset during a similar trip home, this time as a 39-year-old man. Older and a little closer to peace.”
Tickets on sale from 11am (local time) on 20 February.
