50 Cent To Celebrate 15th Anniversary Of 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin'' With Aussie Tour

YES.

More 50 Cent 50 Cent

Turns out that tease earlier this week was the real deal — 50 Cent has confirmed he will be heading to Australia in 2018 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin'.

The heavyweight US rapper, who hasn't toured the country since 2006, will return next February for two massive outdoor shows at Sydney's Parramatta Park and Melbourne Showgrounds. 

Released in 2003 after being discovered by Eminem, Get Rich Or Die Tryin' blew 50 Cent to the top of the charts thanks to hit tracks like In Da Club, 21 Questions and PIMP.

Not only did the acclaimed record kick off one of the biggest hip hop careers in recent memory, but it inspired the 2005 biopic of the same name, loosely based on 50 Cent's own life. 

Tickets for both gigs go on sale from 3 August; for more details, head over to theGuide.
