Australian hip-hop heavyweight 360 is making a triumphant return to the stage, announcing his national ‘Out Of The Blue’ tour—his biggest in years—alongside longtime collaborator and fellow rap icon PEZ.

The tour will see the ARIA Award-winning artist back in the spotlight, hitting major cities across the country in July and August.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of his latest single, “Save My Soul”, a track that blends old-school beats with introspective lyricism, offering fans a taste of his forthcoming fifth studio album, Out Of The Blue, set for release on July 11th.

The record marks 360’s first full-length release since 2017’s Vintage Modern, making this a highly anticipated comeback for the Melbourne rapper.

“It’s been really exciting to start releasing new music,” 360 shared. “I’ve spent most of my career putting out albums while struggling with mental health and addiction. To be in a healthy and happy place while creating has been exhilarating. I’ve finally let go of the need for approval, and that’s liberating.”

360—real name Matt Colwell—first broke through with his 2011 album Falling & Flying, a genre-blurring mix of rap, electronic, and pop that earned him double platinum certification and multiple ARIA Awards.

He quickly became one of Australia’s most recognisable hip-hop voices, known for his raw honesty and electrifying live performances.

Over the years, he’s shared stages with global heavyweights like Eminem and Kendrick Lamar and played festivals including Lollapalooza, Big Day Out, and Splendour in the Grass.

Despite his success, 360 has been open about his struggles with addiction and mental health, taking a step back from music for several years.

He made his live return in 2023 with the ‘Back To Life’ regional tour, selling out shows across the country.

Now, with Out Of The Blue, he’s poised for a full-scale comeback.

“I’m so keen to be back touring, but having PEZ with me on this run feels special,” he said. “We’ve reconnected a lot over the last year or two, and fans will see that energy on stage. Expect a lot of hype and a show that tells the story of my life.”

In addition to the album and tour, 360 is also launching The Forthwrite Podcast, further cementing his place in Australia’s hip-hop scene.
