Yelawolf announces Dublin gig at the Academy

Yelawolf has announced a string of European tour dates, including a stop at the Academy in Dublin on March 16. The tour is in support of his October 2019 release, Ghetto Cowboy.

Originally hailing from Alabama, Yelawolf draws inspiration from rural poverty and Southern Gothic imagery. The underground rapper found major-label success with 2011 album Radioactive, released under Eminem's Shady Records, after independently cultivating a strong audience via MySpace and mixtapes. Since his 2011 official debut, he has gone on to collaborate with other big names such as Juicy J, Lil Jon and blink-182's Travis Barker.

Ghetto Cowboy, released under Yelawolf's own Slumerican Records, is the rapper's first independent release since leaving Eminem's Shady Records. Yelawolf called the album "unapologetic, brutally honest and at times completely vulnerable" in an official announcement in October.

Tickets are €26.50 and go on sale this Friday, January 10 at 10am.
