Nicki Minaj, one of the hottest artists on the planet, and indisputably the biggest breakthrough artist of 2011, has announced that the PINK FRIDAY TOUR will land in Australia in May, taking in shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
2011 was an incredible year for Nicki, with her multi-platinum selling debut album PINKFRIDAY boasting the most charted singles by any female rap album in Billboard history. Nicki also became the first artist to have 7 singles on the Billboard HOT 100 chart simultaneously. She criss-crossed the US playing to massive sell-out audiences with friend and mentor Lil Wayne on the sold–out “I Am Music II” tour and then slayed audiences as the special guest on Britney Spear’s US tour. In addition to winning Best Hip Hop Video at the 2011 MTV Video MusicAwards along with Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album and Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist at the 2011 American Music Awards, Nicki was recently nominated for three Grammys for Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album.

The dizzying ambition of Janelle Monáe’s The ArchAndroid (Suites II & III) gave the multi-talented 26- year-old the top slot in the Guardian’s ‘albums of 2010’ list. After a show-stealing performance at the 2011 Grammy awards, she has been waiting for the right opportunity to make her Australian debut – an exclusive double concert engagement at Vivid LIVE 2012 proved irresistible.
Unfortunately The Exploited tour in Aust-NZ is cancelled due to a very serious family situation of the bass player. Rob has travelled today back to Ireland to stay with his family for the next few weeks and therefore The Exploited is not able to make tour.
