Today, Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE announce a run of headline Australian and New Zealand tour dates this May, following the announcement of a joint headline show as part of Vivid LIVE, plus their forthcoming collaborative LP POMPEII // UTILITY with SURF GANG (out April 3). Pre-sale begins Thu 26 Mar at 8am AEDT with general public on-sale available Fri 27 Mar, 9am AEDT.

Arriving on the heels of 2025 albums from both rappers — MIKE’s Showbiz! and Earl’s Live, Laugh, Love — is the forthcoming collaborative album POMPEII // UTILITY with the celebrated SURF GANG, playing like a victory lap that traces their friendship back over more than a decade. Over this time, the pair have developed a loyal working relationship, tallying notable collaborations like ‘allstar‘ on MIKE’s 2020 album weight of the world, ‘Sentry‘ on Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist’s collab album VOIR DIRE. While MIKE and Earl have orbited it selectively, they haven’t fully lived inside the SURF GANG universe until now, making POMPEII // UTILITY feel like a full-circle collision of worlds.
