He’s been busy touring Europe, has just dropped a massive Major Lazer collab, and now Canadian producer Grandtheft is about to hit Australian soil with the latest leg of his ‘Quit This City’ tour. Despite his tour (and EP) name, it’s pretty obvious that the beatmaker simply does not quit and his remixes and singles have been getting people on dancefloors all over the world. Ahead of his Australia and New Zealand tour run, which kicks off in Sydney on Thursday, Grandtheft has given us an insight to his most recent tour life, and the cities that you definitely should not quit. Be warned: this will probably incite some serious restlessness and we wouldn’t be surprised if you end up booking international flights in the very near future.

And if you want to get a taste of this frenetic action in real life, thanks to our friends at BBE, we’ve got two double passes to give away to the BBE Dance Party, where Grandtheft will be turning the Oxford Art Factory up on Thursday March 24. To enter, just shoot us an email with your name and contact number to [email protected]*, with the subject line GRANDTHEFT. The gig is happening in a couple of days so you do not want to sleep on entering this one if you’re in the Sydney area.

Check out Grandtheft’s favourite non-stop cities below.

01. Tokyo, Japan

I’m half Japanese and have been Tokyo three times. It’s probably my favourite city in the world—rich with style and culture. It’s so busy but, somehow, it’s really peaceful and I find the atmosphere very inspiring.

02. Istanbul, Turkey

Just went for my first time a few weeks ago. I walked around a lot of the city just exploring the amazing mosques and The Grand Bazaar etc. The city sits on hills leading down to the banks of the Bosphorus Channel. The channel divides the city in half—Europe on one side and Asia on the other—which makes up its unique cultural mix and a beautiful landscape.

03. Barcelona, Spain

Just took a trip there to play Razzmatazz (such a rad club) and had an amazing few days exploring. My video for ‘Quit This City’ was also shot in Barcelona and captures a very real nighttime atmosphere.

04. Athens, Greece

For me, it was always bucket-list to see the Greek ruins and Acropolis. So amazing to see structures and art from a civilisation from so long ago! This was a quick trip so I need to go back and explore more of the country.

05. Dubai, UAE

Dubai is a city of opulence and is full of modern design. It’s not that naturally scenic, but there is a lot of interesting new architecture and futuristic stuff which contrasts with the old city. I was invited by the Crown Prince to zipline by the world’s tallest building over the fountains at the Dubai Mall which was pretty crazy.
