Perth Music50 Cent Returns to Australia & NZ
50 Cent last blitzed through Australia and New Zealand in 2003 with a sell out run of concerts. In 2006 he’s returning to our shores on the back of his debut movie and soundtrack album for his Get Rich or Die Tryin’ Tour.
Dogged by controversy since his first appearance in the music arena, 50 Cent has defied the critics and skeptics and now holds the title of 2005’s highest selling album in the United States with The Massacre, beating out fellow chart toppers Green
Day, Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson. 50 Cent is also the first recording artist since The Beatles (in 1964) to have four songs in the US Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
His debut film, also titled Get Rich or Die Tryin’, recently took US$12.5 million on its opening day in the States. Based around 50 Cent’s life and directed by Jim Sheridan, the film will be released in Australia on January 12.
Joining 50 Cent in Australia and New Zealand are his infamous clique and multiplatinum
album selling G Unit. For the Australian shows “King Of Krunk” Lil Jon & The BME Click will join the tour while Sydney trio Bliss n Eso and Melbourne lads Weapon X & Ken Hell round out the night.
All in all these concerts are going to be MASSIVE and with definitely just the one 50 Cent show only in each city tickets aren’t expected to last for long. For his fans in Christchurch, Wellington, Adelaide and Perth this will be their first taste of 50 Cent live!
