Atlanta rapper, actor, and outspoken social activist Killer Mike has announced details of his upcoming The Down By Law Tour, which includes a Dublin show in The National Stadium on Thursday August 22 2024.

Tickets will be priced at €41.20 including booking fees and go on sale Friday March 8 at 10AM

Introduced to the world through his association with OutKast, the musician won the accolade of Best Rap Album at the Grammys for his sixth studio album Michael this year.

Killer Mike's 2012 full-length, R.A.P. Music, was a widely acclaimed breakthrough, and its success led to the formation of Run the Jewels with the album's producer, El-P.

Matching politically charged yet wryly humorous lyrics with hard-hitting, experimental production, the duo made a major impact with their raucous live shows and critically praised albums, each of which was more successful than the last, with 2020's RTJ4 hitting the Top Ten of the Billboard 200.

Mike also gained media attention as a vocal supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders during his presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020. Mike's first solo album in over a decade, Michael, appeared in 2023 and garnered the rapper three Grammy awards.
