Tennessee rap sensation NLE Choppa is all set to set the Australian stage ablaze with his highly anticipated debut tour presented by XIII Touring and Untitled Group, which was announced today.

Marking his first-ever live performances in the land Down Under, Choppa (real name Bryson Potts) is scheduled to rock three major cities in January 2024 — Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney — in what’s sure to be a show of epic proportions.

Known for his explosive hits like Shotta Flow, Walk Em Down, and Slut Me Out — which soared to #1 on TikTok's music chart and top 10 on the US Spotify charts — NLE Choppa’s unique style and genuine authenticity have garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide, inspiring young artists to stay true to themselves.

News of his forthcoming trip across the ponds comes hot off the 20-year-old’s impressive performance at the MTV VMAs 2023 earlier this month alongside hip-hop icon, Nelly, where the pair performed a mash-up of their respective tracks It’s Getting Hot and Hot In Herre.

Following the high-energy show, Choppa told Page Six that the performance was a “full circle moment”.

“It just simply came about by reaching out to him and just asking,” he told the publication.

“And this was one of the moments he was waiting for — to have with me and we did and we shared the stage and we graced it.”

Asked how it felt to perform with one of his all-time idols, Choppa said: “I feel amazing, you know, full circle moment, the generational gap got closed.”

“It’s a beautiful thing for hip hop. It’s iconic.”
