Spotlight: Russ Headlining Auckland's Spark Arena in November

Atlanta-raised superstar rapper Russ is bringing his The Journey Is Everything tour to Tāmaki Makaurau's Spark Arena this November, finally locked in following the pandemic-related postponement of his earlier announced March headline date. A prolific and massively successful artist who just turned 30 last month, Russ has released fifteen long player releases since 2011. Individual hits including 'Losin Control', 'What They Want', 'Psycho Pt. 2' and 'Missin You Crazy' have garnered streaming numbers in the literal hundreds of millions (Forbes recently stated "only around 300 acts drive more traffic on Spotify"), surpassing more than 10 billion streams in total on Spotify / AppleMusic.

Regularly selling out huge capacity theatres in the US, this will be the first time Russ has performed in New Zealand since 2019. In the time since, Russ launched 2020 album Shake The Snow Globe and 2021's CHOMP 2, featuring contributors including Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, DJ Premier and Joey Bada$$.
