Listen Out has confirmed its return for 2024, sharing its eclectic line-up of hip-hop, rnb and dance today (June 4th). The festival will take place across late September and early October, with its condensed sister festival Listen In once again taking place in Adelaide. The full line-up, festival dates and ticketing information can all be accessed below.
Headlining the festival is 21 Savage, who is one of several artists on the line-up making their Australian debut as part of the festival. The London-born, Atlanta-based rapper released his third solo album American Dream back in January, following a trailer for a fictional film starring Donald Glover teased its imminent arrival.
Also performing is UK grime veteran Skepta, which will mark his first Australian shows since the 2019/2020 new-year period where he performed at Wildlands, Beyond The Valley, Origin Fields and Field Day. Skepta was meant to perform at last year’s Groovin The Moo, but later cancelled his appearance. He returns to Listen Out for the first time since 2018, bringing his a string of new music with him – the most recent of which, ‘Tony Montana’, was released in March. His sixth album, Knife and Fork, is expected to be released in the lead-up to his Listen Out appearance.

Other artists making their first-ever Australian appearances as part of the festival include ‘Water’ singer Tyla, Texan rapper Teezo Touchdown, TikTok star Flo Milli, Canadian rnb singer Jessie Reyez and Irish singer-songwriter Jazzy. They will join acts such as Lil Tjay, John Summit and The Blessed Madonna at the multi-stage national touring festival.
