Vic Mensa is the latest member of the Groovin The Moo family to reveal they will be striking out on their own, announcing a run of sideshows in addition to his appearances at the regional touring festival.
Part of a wave of young Chicago hip hop artists just starting to gain recognition around the world, Mensa has emerged as one of the central figures within this new hot bed of hip hop activity. Founding the SAVEMONEY collective, releasing two mixtapes and playing a whole heap of local shows, Mensa eventually signed with Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation.
Already an experienced live performer, Mensa draws on both his past, playing club shows n Chicago to his present, where he has shared some of the biggest stages in the world with some of the biggest artist. He’s played on Saturday Night Live alongside Kanye West, as well as performing at major festivals such as Coachella and Wireless Festival in the UK. And this won’t be his first time on an Australian festival stage either, appearing at last year’s St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.
Tickets go on sale 11am this Tuesday, February 9, with a 48-hour pre-sale available to Telstra customers from 9am Friday 5th February – 9am Sunday 7th February, with more info available via Telstra Music
