The Roots will return to Australia in January 2025 for what is only their third visit down under since 2003.
The Roots last toured Australia in 2013 and were previously in the country in 2003.
The band also hasn’t had an album since 2014’s ‘…And Then You Shoot Your Cousin’. The previous one, ‘Wise Up Ghost’, was a collaboration with Elvis Costello.
Tariq ‘Black Thought’ Trotter and Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson formed The Roots in Philadelphia in 1987. They are now the house band for ‘The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon’.
