WAKA FLOCKA FLAME
AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND
TOUR POSTPONED

Australian tour coordinators for the upcoming Waka Flocka Flame "Turn Up Godz Tour" regrettably announce the postponement of the tour that was to commence next week. The tour will see Waka Flocka performing four shows in Australia (Broome, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney) and two shows in New Zealand (Auckland and Wellington).

Media outlets overnight have been reporting that Waka Flocka has been denied entry into Australia. However, the visas have simply been delayed (as opposed to denied) for the entire touring party which has resulted in the unfortunate tour postponement. This matter was out of the hands of both the artist and tour coordinators.

The tour coordinators are working with Waka Flocka and his team to urgently reschedule the dates for later this year which will be announced very shortly.

Ticket holders who are able to attend the rescheduled date need take no action, with their existing ticket remaining valid and venues to remain unchanged. Fans unable to attend the new show are asked to secure a refund from their original point of purchase.
New dates for Waka Flocka will be announced soon.

Trap, Bass and Hip Hop fans rejoice as Waka Flocka Flame will finally tour Australia & New Zealand next month and will be performing Live May 29th @ Brown Alley 585 Lonsdale Street so expect the unexpected!

The Queens-bred, Atlanta-based MC is always thinking outside of the box. He has collobrated and featured on tracks from Neon Dreams to Steve Aoki and Flosstradamus to name a few... When you hear Waka's scratchy voice over electro beats, it's his way of showing that trap music isn't his only trick. "I'm trying to open people's brains up," Waka says. "You don't have to be stuck in a bubble. You don't have to do this kind of music because people say you are this kind of artist. I do electronic music just to get out the bubble."

The riotous rapper, who penned hits like "O Let's Do It" and "No Hands," has undergone an artistic transformation since his 2010 bombastic debut "Flockaveli." He's experimented with his sound but always with the focus on growing as a rapper.

Born Juaquin James Malphurs, the 28-year-old rapper rose to prominence as Gucci Mane's prote ge and his flagship artist of 1017 Brick Squad. In 2009, Waka put trap back on the map, dropping the first volume of his street classic "Salute Me or Shoot Me", with tracks such as "We On The Way, "Dreads N Gold" and his breakout single "O Let's Do it." The mixtape's buzz allowed Waka to release his proper debut "Flockaveli" in October, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 100. Following his sudden popularity, hip-hop's mainstream elite like T.I., Drake and B.o.B wanted to collaborate with him while he spread his influence to a host of new rappers like Wooh Da Kid and Frenchie

Fast forward to 2015, Waka's high energy is the sole reason why he's earned the nickname "Turn Up God." That style translates into the EDM world Waka calls home now, where he fell in the love with the genre during a tour in Europe two years ago. "Music is like anger management," he says. "It's fun. You get to express yourself."

With 1.3 million followers on Twitter (@WakaFlockaBSM) and over a million followers on Instagram, he's become the second most active celebrity on social media platforms, as well as the second most searched name on Google. Waka Flocka Flame is also cultivating a steady EDM presence thanks to touring with Steve Aoki and appearing on songs by DJ- producer Borgore and Flosstradamus.
