Future will perform here for the first time in September - his first time in New Zealand.

The Atlanta rapper will perform at Spark Arena on September 28 as part of his Nobody Safe tour.

He'll be playing in support of two No. 1 albums released in February.

Born Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, Future is known for his constant and consistent output of music, including six studio albums, 12 mixtapes and 33 music videos.

Already this year, he's released two No. 1 albums - the hard-hitting Future and the more laid back Hndrxx - as well as appearing on songs by Maroon 5, Ariana Grande and Travis Scott.

Tickets for his show are on sale on Friday. A Spark pre-sale begins midday Tuesday.
