Hip Hop Icon Talib Kweli Returns to Australia in November

One of hip hop’s most recognisable names – TALIB KWELI – is set to return to Australia for an unmissable run of headline shows this November. Presented by Teamwrk Touring and MRG Live, these shows will provide Australian audiences the opportunity to get up close and personal with the emcee in some of the country’s best rooms, as he brings his stacked catalogue to metro cities along with an impeccable flow.

The ever-gifted Brooklyn MC has long maintained a strong relationship with Australian fans; his last visits to the country sparking some of 2025’s most memorable shows, alongside THE ROOTS and as part of his visionary BLACK STAR project with YASIIN BEY.

Internationally known and respected as one of the best in the game, TALIB KWELI has continued to take the art of hip hop and its nuances to countries far and wide. His catalogue has accumulated over 780 million total streams to date, while work with artists including Kanye West, Pharrell, and J Dilla has made Talib Kweli a genre great in the eyes of his peers and fans alike.

Over 20 years into his career, TALIB KWELI has shown no signs of slowing down, pouring his creative drive into a number of different creative projects: whether it is through his solo work or more recent collaborations with artists including Madlib, J. Rawls or Yasiin Bey, or through the foundation of his own independent label, Javotti Media.

Advocating for new generations of artists while continuing to evolve his own legacy, TALIB KWELI remains one of the biggest champions of hip hop culture. A fierce activist and multi-hyphenate talent, TALIB KWELI’s live presence is unparalleled; his Australian return this November is set to be the perfect primer for a memorable summer ahead.
