J.I.D Announces 'Forever And A Day' Tour Dates In Australia And New Zealand

Atlanta rapper J.I.D has today announced his highly-anticipated Forever And A Day tour presented by Mai FM in Australia and New Zealand which will kick off in August 2023.

Raised in East Atlanta and growing up on his parents’ collection of classic funk/soul LPs, the Grammy-nominated artist first broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, DiCaprio, and was heralded as “one of rap’s best storytellers”. 

When J.I.D joined hip hop duo EARTHGANG on tour, he was spotted by and first broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, who promptly signed him to his Interscope Records venture, Dreamville Records

Soon after signing to Dreamville, he made his major-label debut with the widely celebrated The Never Story (2017), followed up quickly by the critically acclaimed album DiCaprio 2 (2018). The projects received major looks from critics and helped induct the rapper to the year’s XXL’s Freshmen Class.

In 2019, J.I.D continued his momentum with stellar contributions to Dreamville’s Platinum-certified compilation Revenge of the Dreamers III which went on to debut #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and received multiple GRAMMY nominations including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance. 

Revered for his live performance style, he continued to tour across globally, selling out venues and festival stages.

Last year also proved to be a massive year for the Atlanta rapper who was celebrating a global hit over the winter break in Enemy with Imagine Dragons. 

The huge single primed fans for the first release off J.I.D’s third studio album The Forever Story — a much-anticipated project by fans and critics alike. The Forever Story is J.I.D’s most personal project to date featuring a slew of guest artists including Lil Wayne, Yasiin Bey, James Blake, Lil Durk, and more. 

The 16-track album — including the fan-celebrated outro 2007 featuring J.Cole — was a celebration of storytelling and J.I.D’s ability to weave personality and prose seamlessly across infectious production, executive produced by longtime collaborator and DJ Christo. The music was brought to life when J.I.D toured the album on the completely sold-out Luv Is 4Ever tour alongside hip-hop artist Smino.
