BLACKBEARReturns to Australia in 2020 With “Dead 2 The World Tour”

MELBOURNE, AU (Sep 19, 2019) – Established songwriter and double-platinum selling artist, BLACKBEAR returns to Australia this summer with his brand-new album, “Anonymous” on the Dead 2 The World Tour.

The Palm Beach, Florida-raised, Matthew Tyler Musto, better known by his stage name blackbear is one of the

most talented and musically inclined personalities in R&B. Currently on tour across Europe, the Australian leg will

begin at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Tuesday, January 7 before heading to Melbourne and Sydney.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 11am Tuesday September 24.

My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 10am Monday,

September 23 until 10am Tuesday September 24.

Blackbear is a rock star who defies genres. Swinging between hip-hop and punk, rapping and singing and the

increasingly fragile wall between obscure internet culture and the mainstream, blackbear is a tattooed middle

finger to all expectations. Covered in denim, he accompanies his listeners through the life of a rock star. It's

nihilism, drugs, sex, anxiety, and insensitive ex-girlfriends – it’s blackbear singing “do re mi fa, so fuckin 'done

with you, girl”, before moving on to the next destructive adventure.

With around a billion streams and collaborations with just about everyone, from 2 Chainz, Cam'ron, Machine Gun

Kelly, Ne-Yo to T-Pain, blackbear is one of our most interesting rap hybrids of our time. After leaving Florida-

based rock band, Polaroid, Musto relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to work with Ne-Yo and pursued a solo music

career.

Throughout his 13-year music career, blackbear has released six EPs, five studio albums, and two collaborative

albums. His most recent release, ‘hot girl bummer’ (Interscope/Universal Music Australia), has surpassed more

than 25 million streams in just 3 weeks and currently placed at #34 on Spotify’s “Australia Top 50” chart.

The 28-year-old singer and songwriter has also produced songs for some of the biggest names in music including

Justin Bieber, Linkin Park, G-Eazy and more. Don't miss out on this hot Florida rapper’s return to Australia this

summer – catch him in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
