The last couple of months have seen Melbourne rapper 360 embark on his massive national Flying Tour, of which all 19 show dates were completely sold out. Huge crowds across Australia crammed into venues to catch the electrifying 360 live show and left the venue hot sweaty and extremely satisfied.
Sixty now has his eyes firmly set on some massive festival performances in the months ahead, with his recent set at Splendour in the Grass, his upcoming performance at Fat As Butter in Newcastle, the Foreshore Festival in Canberra and a very special performance at the V8 Supercars Armor All Gold Coast 600. As always Six never likes to do things by halves, so once again he will jet off overseas later in the year to support the release of his highly successful Falling & Flying album in Europe and Canada.
360′s brand new single Run Alone, lifted from the album Falling & Flying has just been released alongside a brand new film clip. You can pick the new single up on iTunes here.
360 has continued to make waves over the past month. A really positive and successful trip to the UK to commence writing for his next album also saw his first ever UK show in London; a sold out one at that. Sixty’s prolific Tweeting throughout the trip revealed some exciting collaborations are in the works for album #3.
Upon his return Sixty took off on the regional Groovin’ the Moo festival tour and has been smashing them so far. Bendigo, Townsville, Maitland and Canberra all yielded bouncing, absolutely jam packed tents and wild audience responses. The audience’s cheers in Maitland reached 119dB (that’s louder than the PA folks!). Bunbury this weekend followed by Darwin then right out on the essentially sold out 17 date national Flying Tour, which kicks off with triple j’s One Night Stand in Dalby at the start of June.
Demand for tickets on The Flying Tour has seen almost every show sell out lightening fast. The Come Together festival sold out in a matter of days and a second 18+ Sydney show at the Metro also sold out quickly. Now, less than a month out from the first date of 360’s June Flying Tour unprecedented demand for tickets has forced the upgrade of the Wollongong Waves venue. The Wollongong show, which will take place on Friday June 9, will now be upgraded to the largest venue within the Waves Nightclub complex at the Towradgi Beach Hotel. The extra tickets go on sale Thu May 24.
The current single to be unleashed from the multi-platinum Falling & Flying album is Child. The tune has hit gold status and scored day adds with a swag of the Nova stations. Hopefully there’s more where that came from.
As of yesterday there is exactly one month until Melbourne rapper 360 kicks off his highly anticipated and much hyped Flying Tour. This morning also heralds the news that Six’s second Sydney date, the Metro on Friday June 29 has completley sold out.
Sydneysiders can simply still not get enough of the man, his original Sydney tour date at the Come Together Festival sold out within 24 hours of going on sale forcing the announcement of the Metro show which has now sold out a whole month before the tour even kicks off.
It’s not just the Metro that has sold out this morning, Sixty’s second under 18’s gig at Perth’s Astor Theatre has now also completley sold out leaving only limited tickets to the final Villa show on sale for Perth locals to get their hands on. This leaves only four shows out of the 17 date national tour still on sale. Tickets for Melbourne, Brisbane, Frankston and Perth are now extremely limited with The Flying Tour headed towards being completley sold out in the next few days. This week will also see views of 360’s YouTube channel reach over 9 million in total, with his album Falling & Flying surging back into the top ten album charts on iTunes.
Sneak peek of the new 360 X Afends necklaces range – Coming soon.
With a practically sold out national tour under his belt Six hit the road over the weekend as the mostly sold out Groovin’ The Moo festivals kicked off. Marked as the festival show stopper Sixty graced the front cover of the Townsville Bulletin on Monday in the aftermath of his outstanding performance the day before. Noted as having the largest crowds of the festival so far 360 treated punters at Bendigo and Townsville to electrifying performances that his army around the country screaming for the festival to roll into their town so they can get a taste of the man they call Six.
The whirlwind doesn’t stop there; only days before heading off on Groovin’ The Moo Sixty jetted back into Australia after spending two weeks in the UK. Six spent his time abroad meeting with producers and commencing work on his new album. He also played his very first UK show at Camden’s Barfly to a sold out crowd filled with his UK army.
All that is left to say is that if you were planning on catching 360 on his upcoming Flying Tour you better grab your tickets stat, as by the end of the week they’ll all be gone!

Right, let’s just get this straight, your mate 360 is here and he ain’t going away any time soon! It hasn’t been long since the tickets for the highly demanded Flying Tour went on sale. Shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Frankston, Adelaide, and Perth have completely sold out with second and final show dates announced in all cities to meet the screams of Sixty’s devoted army that are covering his Facebook wall.
Queensland was the first state to show it’s hunger for Uncle Six, with the under 18’s show selling out within minuets of going on sale. The 18+ gig at Brisbane’s HiFi Bar then followed suit selling out within an hour of tickets being available. A second Brisbane 18+ date has now been announced for Monday 11th of June at the HiFi to meet the needs of Sixty’s Queensland based devotees.
Adelaide’s all ages show at The Gov was the next to put up the sold out sign, tickets here were all but gone within two hours of hitting the streets. A second and final show went on sale and is also now sold out. Sixty’s home town of Melbourne then came to the party with the 18+ show at the HiFi Bar done and sold by early afternoon, a second date has also been announced here for Thursday 14th of June. Overnight tickets to Melbourne, Frankston, Wollongong and Perthshows were snapped up and sold out. Once again Sixty has answered the cries for more shows putting on a second and final under 18’s show on Sunday 24th of June at the Astor Theatre in Perth.
The heat around Melbourne rapper 360 is absolutely undeniable at the moment. Is there anything that Sixty can’t do? His juggernaut continues to roll on into 2012 with album Falling & Flying reaching certified Platinum sales status and current single Boys Like You feat. Gossling achieving double platinum status within the space of a week.
The album itself has remained in the ARIA top 50 charts for a massive 23 weeks and has been sitting pretty in the top 10 for the last seven weeks, currently holding strong at #6. Equally as impressive single Boys Like You has spent 10 weeks in the ARIA top 50 singles charts – the last six weeks in the top 10, currently sitting at #5.
It’s onwards and upwards for 360, who knows what else 2012 has in store for the man. One thing we can say for sure is that if you haven’t already seen the electric live stage performance this guy puts on then you better run out and grab tickets while you still can.
The new 360 clip for his track Child taken from Falling & Flying made it’s debut on Channel [V] on Friday afternoon, you check that out above. The video was directed by Andrew Cameron and produced by Anne Robinson.
Following unprecedented demand, a sold out national tour and chaotic scenes from in-store signings, 360 announces The Flying Tour featuring both 18+ and underage shows to cater for the entire army. Rather than taking Sixty’s stadium-sized album into stadiums, he’s rewarding followers by playing at venues that allow them to get up close and very personal with the man himself.
Falling & Flying is continuing to dominate, with current single Boys Like You achieving certified double platinum status and the album itself charging towards platinum sales. Boys Like You is sitting at #3 on the ARIA singles chart, having held in the Top 5 for the past 4 weeks.
