Sticky, sweaty and heaving: rapper Illy kicks off tour in regional Australia
The Papercuts rapper is known for his heaving, high-energy live shows, and even nabbed an ARIA award for the best Australian live act in 2017.
"I want people to leave with hoarse voices and sweaty clothes," the rapper told this masthead.
"I think people who come to the shows can attest that we don't mess around," he said.
Starting at Canberra's UC Hub in August, the multi-platinum artist will tour through country towns and regional centres before closing the three-month run in Mildura in November.

Illy, born Alasdair Murray, said he got his start in the music industry touring throughout regional Australia.
"If it's got a low roof, a small little sweatbox, I'll never not feel at home in a room like that," he said.
"With some of these small shows that we're playing, we'll almost be in the crowd, which is mad because that's how I started, and I know exactly what to do in that environment."
The Aussie rapper and his band plan to perform new hits including Hopeless, Free Hand, Kids and Good Life, as well as songs spanning his 16-year career.
Tickets for all 27 shows are available through Songkick.
Homegrown rapper Illy is set to blow the roof off pubs, clubs and bars in regional Australia as he embarks on a massive tour for his chart-topping 2024 album, Good Life.

Margot Robbie in talks to star in Tim Burton's new film
Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake. The 35-year-old Australian actress is being considered for the lead role in the director's upcoming movie for Warner Bros and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The InSneider. The 1958 movie is a science-fiction horror story which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and goes on to take revenge on her cheating husband. It was reported last year that Burton would direct and produce the remake, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn writing the script. Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper are also producing with Kai Dolbashian as executive producer. However, Variety reports that Flynn exited the project due to other commitments after writing a first draft of the screenplay. The production team is searching for a new writer. Robbie's involvement would depend on the final version of the script. Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake.

Time to short Labubu? This fund says $66b craze's days are numbered
It's the soft toy that has gone from Gen Z craze to cultural touchstone, but one Australian hedge fund is betting that the global mania for Labubu won't last and is hoping to cash in on the collapse of its popularity. Arnott Capital, a secretive hedge fund which invests on behalf of wealthy Sydney families, says the 'viral sensation' is nearing peak saturation, likening the Labubu to Hello Kitty, a Japanese bobtail cat that became a global icon in the 1990s but is no longer a global phenomenon.
