Shing02 will perform his six part series LUV(SIC) live across Australia.
International hip hop great Shing02 is heading down under in 2026, bringing his iconic LUV(SIC) HEXALOGY Tour to our shores.
Honouring the legacy of Nujabes, Shing02’s longtime collaborator, who was killed in a car accident in 2010, LUV(SIC) is the six-part series the two concocted, with Shing02 curating the final three parts after Nujabes passing.
Joining Shing02 on stage to perform LUV(SIC) are Spin Master A-1 and Sam Nakamura, with the three bringing the beloved alt-hip hop series to life across the country this March.
Shing02’s Australian tour begins in Perth at Freo.Social on Monday 23 March. Shows follow at the Factory Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday 24 (sold out) and Wednesday 25 March, The Triffid in Brisbane on Thursday 26 March and Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Friday 27 March, with the final two dates at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Sunday 29 (sold out) and Monday 30 March.

Born in Tokyo and raised between Tanzania and England, Shing02 found himself in California, where he emerged from the independent San Francisco Bay Area rap scene in the early 1990s, making a name for himself as one of the most unique MCs.
Finding his way back to Tokyo, Shing02 teamed up with Nujabes and cemented himself as an alt-rap pioneer, with his jazz-influenced creations providing the backbone for his introspective lyrics.
After touring North America and Europe, it’s now time for Australian fans to witness Shing02 live in the flesh as he pays tribute to Nujabes and his own legacy.
Catch Shing02 at Lion Arts Factory on Friday 27 March. Tickets on sale now at bohmpresents.com.
