Get ready, Australia and New Zealand, because a powerhouse of the underground hip-hop scene is heading your way. Canadian artist Night Lovell is set to bring his dark and atmospheric sound to our shores this November for the '8 LEGS UNDER' tour, with a highly anticipated special guest: Los Angeles-based artist, HAARPER.
Night Lovell, a 27-year-old from Ottawa, has been on a meteoric rise since his viral single 'Dark Light' dropped in 2014. Since then, he's carved out a reputation as a master of "dark trap," blending eerie production with deep, menacing vocals. His work has often been described as a "horror film scored by rap of the internet era," a testament to his ability to craft a brooding, introspective, and at times angsty, mood.
This signature style, which melds elements of trap, grime, and cloud rap, has earned him a devoted following and over a billion streams on Spotify. His latest album, 'I Hope You're Happy', released in 2023, continues this sonic evolution. The album, which reviewers have called "his most cohesive work to date," is a concise yet impactful journey into his emotional landscape, featuring a unique flow over hard-hitting beats. As he prepares to join the North American 'GREY DAY' tour with $UICIDEBOY$, it's clear Night Lovell is a force to be reckoned with.
Sharing the stage on this tour is fellow underground sensation, HAARPER. The Bay Area artist has made a name for himself with his genre-bending approach, which he describes as "the product of old Memphis and the Dirty South, mixed with aggressive new metal like old Korn." His music, a high-energy mix of trap metal and hip-hop, has amassed over 500 million streams and a reputation for explosive live performances, full of mosh pits and raw energy. HAARPER’s ability to authentically blend disparate subcultures has made him a unique and influential figure. As he puts it, "I don't think I could put a label on my music... I'm trying to blend those two together but in a subtle way."
With Night Lovell's dark and hypnotic soundscapes and HAARPER's frenetic, genre-fusing energy, the '8 LEGS UNDER' tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans. You can get your tickets today for the upcoming shows in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland.
