Get ready to light up the stage, Australia, because the brand-new hip-hop festival, Light It Up, is about to hit our shores this September with an electrifying lineup that’ll have you bouncing to the beat.
We’re talking about the biggest names in modern-day hip-hop, all ready to bring the fire and set the stage ablaze.
Leading the charge is none other than the superstar himself, Wiz Khalifa.
Get ready to groove to his iconic tunes that have taken the world by storm. But that’s not all—joining him on this epic musical journey are the hype-filled duo Rae Sremmurd, who’ll be gracing our Aussie stages for the first time since their standout performance at FOMO Festival back in 2019. And hold on tight, because we have an exciting Australian debut on the horizon with the talented Lola Brooke, ready to make her mark at Light It Up.
But let’s not forget about our homegrown hip-hop heroes! Australia’s very own pioneer of Australian drill, Hooligan Hefs, hailing from NSW, will be bringing his unmatched energy to the festival. And watch out for the rising star on the Australian-Samoan hip-hop scene, Youngn Lipz, as he takes the stage and drops some sick beats that’ll have you grooving all night long.
Plus, we have the DMC Champion himself, DJ BeastMode, ready to spin the turntables and keep the party going.
The festival will be hitting arenas across the country, from Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Perth’s RAC Arena, and wrapping up the extravaganza at Melbourne’s iconic Rod Laver Arena.
So, grab your crew, lace up your freshest kicks, and get ready to experience the hip-hop extravaganza of a lifetime.
