Deltron 3030 Tour

Hip-hop supergroup Deltron 3030 – Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, producer Dan “The Automator” Nakamuram and turntablist Kid Koala – have announced their first Australian tour.

With Del playing the role of Deltron Zero, the group’s 2000 debut album was a hip-hop space opera about a disillusioned soldier and interplanetary computer prodigy rebelling against a 31st-century New World Order. The album featured collaborations with Money Mark, Sean Lennon and Damon Albarn who hired Automator to produce the first Gorillaz album the following year. The Gorilliaz debut also featured Del on two singles – ‘Clint Eastwood’ and ‘Rock the House’ – and additional production from Kid Koala. 13 years on from their debut album, Deltron 3030 reunited for a followup album last year Event 2 reteaming with Damon Albarn and inviting Zack De La Rocha, Mike Patton comedian David Cross and even celebrity chef David Chang along for the ride.

Deltron 3030 will play shows on Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth early next year, in the lead up to the Australian premiere of Kid Koala’s film Nufonia Must Fall accompanied by live piano, turntable and strings at the Adelaide Festival.
