Nelly has announced his return to Australia, playing a run of capital city dates as part of his Where The Party At? world tour in March 2025. The tour arrives on the eve of the St. Louis pop-rapper celebrating 25 years of his multi-platinum debut album, 2000’s Country Grammar. The full list of tour dates, as well as pre-sale and ticketing information, can be found below.
Joining Nelly as part of the touring ensemble will be the reunited rap collective St. Lunatics, which the rapper formed with a group of childhood friends in the early 90s prior to his solo success. Chingy, best known for 2000s hits like ‘Right Thurr’ and ‘One Call Away’, will additionally serve as support act. Opening proceedings each night will be rap mogul Jermaine Dupri, who produced Nelly’s number-one single ‘Grillz’ and the Nelly-featuring Jagged Edge song ‘Where The Party At?’, from which the tour’s title stems from.
Nelly – ‘Country Grammar (Hot Shit)’
Nelly last toured Australia in January of 2023 as part of that year’s Juicy Fest. The nostalgic hip-hop and rnb line-up saw the ‘Hot In Herre’ rapper headlining, with support from the likes of Bow Wow, Pretty Ricky, Ja Rule, Mya and Xzibit. Since he was last in Australia, he has released one new single: ‘This Lil’ Game We Play’, which features Dupri, Ashanti and Juicy J.
