They bring their brand of Cali hip hop to Dublin and Belfast later this year.

LA rappers Watsky and Wax join forces for Hug A Hater Tour double-headers in the Dublin Academy (October 29) and the Belfast Limelight 2 (30) where tickets are €19 and £14 respectively.
George Watsky is a jazz-loving motormouth whose wry observations on life earned him a slot at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs festival while Wax, AKA Michael Jones, signed to Def Jam after going viral with a video that registered 35 million YouTube hits.
