Hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids have brought their RED FUTURE tour down under! The run of shows marks the duos first Australian shows since 2019, and is in support of their latest studio album, RED FUTURE.

“Red Future is about wanting to see our future generations thriving," says Yung Trybez. "We were inspired by Indigenous futurism and we see Snotty Nose Rez Kids as a small part in opening doors and inspiring future youth to realize the vision for their own lives, whether it's music, art or anything else.”

Having already hit the stage in Melbourne, Newcastle and Burleigh, the duo will wrap up their Australian run in Sydney this week with two performances. Snotty Nose Rez Kids will perform two headline shows, the first on May 22 at Waywards and the second as part of Vivid Festival's First Light: Live program on May 23. Final tickets are on sale now!

"It's always love in Australia. Every time we've been out this way, we've felt support from fans and we've felt the community from other artists," Young D shares. "Indigenous artists in Australia are at the forefront of music in this country and we're blessed to be connected to a lot of them and looking forward to making music together."

Representing the indigenous Haisla peoples of Kitamaat Village in their home province of British Columbia, Snotty Nose Rez Kids is composed of Young D (Darren Metz) and Yung Trybez (Quinton Nyce). The pair have been champions of culture and heritage since the project’s inception in 2016, and have continued to proudly intertwine their art and activism every step of the way.

In the six years since their last trip down under, Snotty Nose Rez Kids have brought their have released three new albums: Life After (2021), I’M GOOD, HBU? (2022) [released by Bad Apples Music], and their major label debut via Sony, RED FUTURE (2024), which saw them collaborate with the likes of Electric Fields.
