Hip hop heavyweight Xzibit will be back in Australia, and performing at Capitol in Perth on 26 June 2007.
Xzibit is one of music’s most proficient artists. With over six million albums sales to his name, he has been heralded as one of the most skilled emcees in the game. But X has always looked above and beyond, lending himself to video games, cinema and television. From his wildly successful MTV show Pimp My Ride, to starring in films with Samuel Jackson, Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen, Xzibit has become a household name.
This will be an 18+ show with Dafari (originally a member of Tha Alkaholiks, alongside Xzibit).
Tickets are on sale from BOCS Ticketing now.

Tickets go on sale Monday 30 April for about $55, from Heatseeker, Star Surf, Planet, Beat and Mills.
