Young grime MC Novelist is in the middle of his debut Australian tour and he made his Melbourne stop over the weekend. By all accounts, our hometown crowd turned out in force and provided the artist with the good vibes required to draw out an absolute beast of a performance. Fans filled out Platform One and matched the rapper’s energy from start to finish. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday night, really.

Fans in Perth, Auckland (NZ), and Sydney are still in with the chance to experience Novelist’s live show, with venue and ticket info available via the good folk at BBE.
