Kicking off in Sydney in September and ending in Melbourne three weeks later, the now 15 date tour features special guests Willow Beats, Porsches and L.K. McKay.

Last week Tkay dropped the long-awaited clip for her current hit single ‘M.O.B’ which sees the return of the cartoon Tkay depicted in last year’s ‘Switch Lanes’ and introduces a new badass space Maidza. In a blaze of lasers, spaceship drag races and mad skills, the two battle it out in the quest to reign as the ultimate Tkay.

The video brings to (computer-generated) life the essence of the song, which was written as a letter to the nineteen-year-old’s future self, a declaration to always work hard without complaining, stay focused and channel ambition as a weapon for success.

Since its realease “M.O.B.” has topped the alternative radio airplay charts and is now making an imprint on commercial radio following her sold-out M.O.B. National Australian Tour, supports with Charli XCX and recent UK tour with band of the moment Years & Years.

The first track from her upcoming and debut album is an anthem of ‘Money Over Bitches’ – mixing calypso beats with a lightning-fast emcee flow – delivered with Tkay’s now trademark energy.

Tkay’s live performances have taken her from an online sensation, effortlessly tearing up the Hype Machine charts and raking in global recognition, to one of Australia’s youngest fearless performers. Carving up stages around the country this year already with The Falls Music & Arts Festivals, Southbound, Beat the Drum and St Jerome’s Laneway Festival Tkay is now gearing up for sets at Mountain Sounds and Groovin The Moo as well as support spots with Charli XCX in April and May.

Joining Tkay on her cross-country take-over will be up-and-comers UV Boi and Joy. With only a handful of refreshing electronic tracks smacking with heavy 808’s UV Boi’s unique production stylings have amassed over 200k Soundcloud plays and co-signings from the likes of Nina Las Vegas and Ryan Hemsworth. Seventeen-year-old Olivia McCarthy aka Joy makes stunning, sneaky pop music that you can dive into like a warm bath, with a ethereal melodies and her own startling vocals, it’s no wonder she’s been snapped up to play gigs around the country.

“”M.O.B follows on from ‘Switch Lanes’, the single that earned Tkay her first placement on triple j’s Hottest 100 – though we suspect not her last.” – TRIPLE J

“Major buzz and serious talent.” – BUZZFEED

“If she can continue this streak of slick, party-ready rapping, she’s got a glowing future.” – PITCHFORK
