Australian hip-hop legends Bliss N Eso are set to make a triumphant return to the stage in 2023 with their highly anticipated Flying Colours 15th Anniversary Tour. The tour marks a significant milestone for Bliss N Eso as they celebrate 15 years since the release of their iconic and critically acclaimed album – which you can listen to below to bring back some of that – much-loved – late 2000 nostalgia. The album, which received the prestigious certification in Australia, solidified Bliss N Eso’s position as trailblazers in the Australian hip-hop scene. With numerous top 10 hits and a string of Platinum and Gold singles, the trio has undeniably earned their star status ever since that 2008 release (and beyond).
The Flying Colours 15th Anniversary Tour promises to be a spectacular event, allowing Bliss N Eso to express their gratitude to their dedicated fanbase. The trio will perform the entire Flying Colours album, featuring chart-topping singles such as my favourites ‘The Beginning‘ ‘Destiny Lane‘, ‘Climb The Cliffs‘ and ETM’s personal album favourite ‘Gorilla Militia’. In addition to those hits, fans can expect electrifying performances of the trio’s biggest catalogue hits, with a few surprises in store.
“Honestly, this album was such game changer for us and we’re so pumped to be hitting the road to celebrate its 15th anniversary with all our beloved fans. We are blessed to have had such an amazing career that is still as strong as ever and Flying Colours was truely such a pivotal point in our trajectory. Even when I play it today I can really hear that monumental shift in our sound and growth as artists. It’s rare these days that a body of work stands the test of time and still means so much to so many people. Even more than winning our first ARIA award with this album, it was the deep connection with our fans this album created that really spawned the fanbase we have today and that’s what means the most. There’s so many bangers on this record that are constantly requested but we rarely get to play live, so to break these bad boys out for the first time in years and let em rip all together is going to be INSANE. And of course to finally release this truly special album on vinyl for the FIRST TIME EVER is just the icing on the cake!” – — Jonathan (MC Bliss of Bliss n Eso)
To commemorate this special tour and the impact of the Flying Colours project on Australian music, the original album will be pressed on vinyl for the very first time. Released via Flight Deck/Mushroom on Friday, November 3. This exclusive piece of Bliss N Eso memorabilia will serve as a timeless reminder of the album’s profound influence.
