After previously announcing plans to premiere his new album WAVES by streaming it live to theatres around the world, Kanye West has now unveiled the full list of Australian locations where fans can get in on the action.
A total of six Aussie cinemas will be participating in the universal debut of Yeezy’s seventh LP on Friday, 12th February.
But it’s bad news for punters who don’t live in NSW, VIC or SA.
Three of the screenings will take place in Sydney: one at Hoyts Broadway, one at Event Cinemas on George Street and another one out west at Event Cinemas Parramatta.
Two screenings will be held in Victoria on the same date – one at Hoyts in Melbourne Central and another at the Village Jam Factory in South Yarra.
While the only South Australian venue to host the global listening sesh will be Event Marion in Oaklands Park.
The screenings will take place at the not-overly-convenient timeslot of 8.00AM AEDT for us ‘Strayans (that’s 7.30AM in SA), so set your alarm clocks early kiddies.
Kanye will premiere his highly anticipated follow-up to 2013’s Yeezus on February 11th (New York time) at Madison Square Garden as part of the “Yeezy Season 3” fashion line unveiling, with the event to be live-streamed to theatres in over 20 countries around the world.
And since Ye’s already dubbed it “the best album of all time” (naturally), if you want tickets to the premiere then you’d better get in quick.
Check out the full Australian premiere details, and hear Kanye’s Kendrick Lamar collab No More Parties In L.A. (which has been confirmed to feature on the new LP) below.
