Hip hop legend Ice Cube returns to Australian shores in 2025 for two exclusive performances. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee is playing Sydney and Melbourne this March, with Adelaide sadly missing out.
The former N.W.A. member is performing at Sydney’s ICC Theatre on Friday, March 7 and Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday, March 8. These shows will be Cube’s first in Australia since he last toured in 2018 in support of his album, Everythang’s Corrupt.
Tickets for both shows are on sale now via livenation.com.au.

Ice Cube’s tour comes in support of his 2024 record, Man Down, the rapper’s first top ten solo album to make the Billboard Top Rap Albums Chart in 14 years!
The rapper-turned-actor got his start with the revolutionary rap group N.W.A. in the ‘80s before leaving to go solo. He released four critically acclaimed albums in the early ‘90s (AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted in 1990, Death Certificate in 1991, The Predator in 1992 and Lethal Injection in 1993) and established himself as one of hip hop’s great MCs.
While he continues to drop albums on a semi-regular basis, Cube has diversified into acting and is responsible for classic comedy franchises Friday and Barbershop. Cube also had roles in the cult classic Anaconda, action flick XXX: State of the Union and the Ride Along movies.
Cube launched Big3 in 2017, a 3-on-3 basketball league featuring former NBA players that has proved to be a huge success.
