Snotty Nose Rez Kids 2025 Australian Tour

Hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids have announced their return with an upcoming Australian leg of the 2025 RED FUTURE Album Tour! The Haisla Nation band hailing from British Columbia, Canada will be headed down under for the first time since their last run of shows in 2019.

In the six years since then, SNRK have released 3 new albums: Life After (2021), I’M GOOD, HBU? (2022) [released by Bad Apples Music], and their major label debut via SONY, RED FUTURE (2024), which saw them collaborate with the likes of Electric Fields [LISTEN HERE].

“We met Electric Fields in 2019; we happened on a set they were doing for BIGSOUND and were blown away by them. This collaboration has been a long time in the works and we’re blessed to have them involved in this one. This track was years in the making and we couldn’t be happier to have made it the title track for our album.” YOUNG D

“Red Future is about wanting to see our future generations thriving. We were inspired by Indigenous futurism and we see Snotty Nose Rez Kids as a small part in opening doors and inspiring future youth to realize the vision for their own lives, whether it’s music, art or anything else.” YUNG TRYBEZ

RED FUTURE was released in September of 2024, and saw the duo undertake a 35-city North American headline tour in support of the record. Now, fresh off the back of winning Rap Album of the Year at the 2025 Juno Awards, SNRK have revealed that the next leg of the tour will bring them to Australian shores once again, playing shows across Melbourne, Newcastle, Burleigh and Sydney!

“We can’t wait to be back! After the pandemic derailed our touring plans, including plans to return to Australia in 2020, we’ve been waiting for the right time. After touring our new album all over North America, this felt like the perfect moment to bring the RED FUTURE Tour experience world-wide!” YUNG TRYBEZ

Representing the indigenous Haisla peoples of Kitamaat Village in their home province of British Columbia, Snotty Nose Rez Kids is composed of Young D (Darren Metz) and Yung Trybez (Quinton Nyce). The pair have been champions of culture and heritage since the project’s inception in 2016, and have continued to proudly intertwine their art and activism every step of the way. With over 60 million streams across DSPs, 45 million video views, 95K monthly listeners on Spotify, and a heap of local support from the likes of Double J, triple j, RRR, FBi Radio PBS, RTR and more, the return of Snotty Nose Rez Kids to stages down under is sure to be one for the ages.

“It’s always love in Australia. Every time we’ve been out this way, we’ve felt support from fans and we’ve felt the community from other artists. Indigenous artists in Australia are at the forefront of music in this country and we’re blessed to be connected to a lot of them and looking forward to making music together.” YOUNG D

PRAISE FOR SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS

“With their signature blend of storytelling, activism, and in-your-face beats, RED FUTURE isn’t just an album—it’s a statement. And if history is any indicator, SNRK are about to make a lot of noise.”
NOTION

“[RED FUTURE] sounds lush and epic and widescreen — in a word, big.”
BILLBOARD CANADA

“RED FUTURE is a bold, blistering album that begs to be blasted at a high volume, particularly at one of the group’s high-energy concerts.”
NEXT MAG

“Deconstructing perceptions of First Nations people with intelligence and responsibility, hip hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids are at the forefront of Canada’s indigenous renaissance.”
THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“Haisla Nation duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids thrive on subverting stereotypes and preserving cultural traditions. With fierce rhymes committed to the cause of decolonization, Young Trybez and Young D simultaneously nod to the contemporary hip-hop sound they employ and to environmental issues directly affecting Indigenous people.”
