  "account": "American rapper Vince Staples is set to embark on a 2027 Australian headline tour supporting his latest album Cry Baby. This marks his first solo shows in the country since 2018. The Cry Baby Tour will visit Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne from January 2 to 7, 2027. The tour, presented by Untitled Group and Beyond the Valley, is set to wrap up with a performance at Beyond the Valley, a sold-out Victorian festival where Vince is among the headliners. Cry Baby, Staples' seventh studio album, is a departure from his introspective work of the past few years, featuring more social commentary and live instrumentation. The album, released in June via Section Eight Arthouse, Loma Vista and Concord, was accompanied by videos for \"Blackberry Marmalade,\" \"White Flag\" and \"Cotton.\" Vince, known for his breakout hit \"Norf Norf\" in 2015, has continued to chart with each release, including his 2021 self-titled album. Tickets for the tour go on general sale on September 1, 2024, following a presale organized by Untitled.",
