The time has finally arrived. Anyone that has seen Bliss N Eso live before can attest to the fact that not only are they the most dynamic live hip-hop group in the country but are also one of the most incredible live acts that you will see in your life.

It’s been two years since the group’s notorious, nationwide sell-out tour, and Bliss N Eso have decided their starved fans have been waiting long enough, as they hit the road through September, October and November.

Since Bliss N Eso were last on the road, they have released the biggest album of their career, Flying Colours (out now through Illusive) which has propelled the group into unchartered territory. The album debuted in the top 10 on the ARIA chart and, shortly after, the group caused a riot at one of the most infamous MySpace Secret Shows in the country and were announced on this year's Splendour in the Grass line-up. The anticipation for this tour has reached boiling point.

Flying Colour's first two singles, Bullet and a Target and Woodstock 2008, have lifted the group from underground superstars into the public eye, and on the verge of the release of the album's most stellar single (The Sea is Rising), it seemed the time was right to finally unleash the Bliss N Eso beast onto the nation’s live venues once again.

Equipped with a new set-list featuring old favorites, as well as the hits off Flying Colours, an incredible new stage and production set-up, and a legion of fans that have been holding their breath for this very announcement – this tour is destined to become one that the lucky attendees will be reminiscing about for years to come.

After a year in the studio, the Bliss N Eso boys are hungry for the carnage that the next few months will entail. According to Bliss, “the response to the new record has been insane, and now we get to do it all for you live. People better be prepared for this one, because it's going to get crazy!”.
