Australian-based hip hop group The 046 is about to embark on their first New Zealand tour.

The 046 Collective started in the South West of Sydney from a public housing suburb called Claymore.

They have been credited for pioneering Aus Funk, which is a sub genre in the exploding Australian hip-hop scene. Their breakout tracks, including Run It, Young Free & Reckless, Runnin’ Game, and Music is Everything, have garnered millions of streams on Spotify.

Since the New Zealand tour was announced, fans have snapped up tickets and sold out the Tauranga, Auckland and Wellington shows.

The 046 members Kymza and ET said they wanted to add more opportunities for fans to see them perform in the Bay of Plenty.

“We heard Tauranga’s all sold out but don’t worry, we’ve got a solution to that problem,” ET said.

Supporting The 046 on tour is Rotorua’s Krisy Erin.

“Rotorua … we’re coming to see you,” Kymza said.

“It’s only 50 minutes down the road [from Tauranga]. Don’t miss out, you don’t want to miss this,” he said.

“Make sure you get down there. Rotorua we’ll see you there,” ET said.

Supporting The 046 on tour are NELZ, KT Souljah, and Rotorua’s Krisy Erin.
