360 goes back and forth

Across 43 dates, Australian rapper Matt Colwell, better known by his stage name 360, will take Back N Forth across Australia.

His extensive run of shows will feature both fresh music and fan favourites, bringing a high-energy performance to regional venues around the country.

The coming string of regional performances follows a sold-out capital city tour earlier this year.

Colwell is keen to hit the road again.

“It’s unusual, we’ve recently finished the capital cities tour and normally I would prefer more down time in between tours, but I noticed after about a month I was ready to go out again,” he said.

“I haven’t enjoyed touring like this in the past, so I’m stoked. This is going to be so fun… get me out there.

“It’s a blessing to be able to travel the country doing what I love. Not only seeing parts of Australia I haven’t seen before, but getting to perform to fans who haven’t seen me live before, as well as fans who haven’t seen me live in a while.

“That’s the best part of regional tours, getting to perform in areas that not many artists are coming through.”

360 first landed on the scene in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t until 2011, when he released Flying & Falling, that his talent started to shine.

The album peaked at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart and became a double platinum hit.

From there, his career continued to grow with further albums and shows in front of sold-out crowds and performances at festivals including Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Lollapalooza.

On the Back N Forth tour, 360 will be joined by fellow musician and long-time friend Pez.

Their history dates back to the early days of their careers, and they’ve long collaborated on each other’s albums and tours.

“When me and Pez are together it’s always hectic and more fun,” Colwell said.

“We’ll be bringing out some of our biggest classics as well as older joints we don’t usually get to perform on our own. So, the set will be a fun trip down memory lane.”

The duo will bring the Back N Forth tour to the Torquay Hotel on March 26.
