Happening this February.

KOTA The Friend has announced his first-ever Australian headline shows. 

The US rapper will be touring the country in celebration of his album, FOTO, which dropped back in May.  

Classically trained trumpet player and self-taught on piano, guitar and bass, KOTA released three EPs prior to FOTO, including Palm Tree Liquor, Paloma Beach and Anything. 

The Australian run will kick off at Woolly Mammoth in Brisbane on Thursday 13 February and then head to Oxford Art Factory in Sydney. The tour is set to wrap up at Howler in Melbourne. 

Tickets for the shows are on sale from Friday 18 October from 12pm AEDT.
