Hip-hop and jazz from Canada’s kings of cool

Multi-talented masters of hip-hop-infused jazz and collaborators with some of music’s hottest acts, Grammy Award-winning Canadian trio BADBADNOTGOOD return to Australia for their Sydney Opera House debut in the Concert Hall.

True musical originals, the Toronto-based band broke through in 2011 with their jazz covers of Odd Future tracks and were soon collaborating with Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean. Between producing tracks for Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Freddie Gibbs, Mick Jenkins and Kali Uchis, they recorded an album, Sour Soul (2015), with the Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah, and gained fame for their own genre-defying albums, which moved fluidly between soulful jazz, alternative hip-hop and experimental electronica. On records like III (2014), IV (2016), Talk Memory (2021) and the viral smash ‘Time Moves Slow’, the band turned genres inside out, dazzling audiences with both hip-hop and classic jazz sounds.

With 2024’s triple suite Mid Spiral, BADBADNOTGOOD continue their reign as the kings of alt jazz cool. Don’t miss their performance in the Concert Hall – for one night only.

Presented by Sydney Opera House
