JPEGMAFIA Announces ‘Lay Down My Life’ Australian Tour 2025
Sadly the genre-bending rapper won’t be making it to Adelaide.
American rapper JPEGMAFIA returns to our shores in 2025 with his ‘Lay Down My Life’ Australian tour.
Having impressed with his performances at Listen Out Festival 2023 along with solo shows in Melbourne and Sydney, JPEGMAFIA’s just announced run of Australian shows comes in support of his upcoming untitled fifth studio album.
Sadly the man voice behind '1539 N. Calvert', 'BALD!' and 'HAZARD DUTY PAY!' won’t be making the journey to Adelaide, with shows locked in for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
The experimental rapper, singer and producer begins his 2025 tour in Brisbane at the Fortitude Music Hall on Friday, February 28. He then makes his way to Sydney for a show at the Enmore Theatre on Tuesday, March 4 before a stop in Melbourne at The Timber Yard on Friday, March 7. The final night of the tour comes on Saturday, March 8 when JPEGMAFIA performs at Metropolis in Perth.
Pre-sale kicks off tomorrow, Wednesday, July 3 at 9:30am local time. General sale commence Friday, July 5 at 9:30am local time. For all ticket details head to Frontier Touring.

Signing with Republic Records and releasing his debut studio album Black Ben Carson in 2016, JPEGMAFIA has continued to evolve as a songwriter, rapper and producer over the past eight years.
His most recent release was last year’s collaborative LP with Danny Brown, Scaring the Hoes, which is also his most successful project to date, both critically and commercially. CLASH gave the album a perfect score and called it “sensationally good” while The Guardian called Scaring the Hoes “smart but chaotic, funny but disturbing.”
While details are scarce when it comes to Peggy’s forthcoming fifth album, the record is expected to arrive sometime before the end of the year, with JPEGMAFIA dropping the album’s first single, ‘don’t rely on other men’, a few weeks back.
