After being forced to postpone their 2025 Australian tour, hip hop icons Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have today revealed the rescheduled dates for their visit Down Under.
Originally lined up for three shows in October of this year, Bone Thugs are now touching down in Australia in May 2026.
“Australia & New Zealand, we’re still in the studio putting the finishing touches on the album so we’re pushing back our dates to May 2026. Hang on to your tickets, we can’t wait to party with you next year!” the group said in a statement.
Tickets purchased for the original dates remain valid for the new shows, but anyone who can’t make the rescheduled gigs is entitled to a full refund and should get in direct contact with their ticket provider.
All five original members of the group – Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone and Flesh-n-Bone – are making the trip, performing in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The tour, which is the first to feature all five members since 2010, will see Bone Thugs joined by West Coast great Xzibit, who was last here in 2024 for what turned out to be a chaotic performance (check out our review here), and Bay Area legend Too $hort, a pioneer of ‘90s hip hop.
Bone Thug-N-Harmony’s Australian tour kicks off at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Sunday 10 May before hitting Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Tuesday 12 May and Melbourne’s PICA on Wednesday 13 May.
