Jay-Z is touring Australia at the end of October. Pre-sale tickets for his Melbourne show go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday 13 September). The Roc Da Bloc tour features Jay-Z, Rihanna and Ne*Yo. To be honest I don't know who Rihanna and Ne*Yo are (although I believe Rihanna released a song that heavily samples Soft Cells 'Tainted Love'). I'm conflicted, I'd really like to check out Jay-Z, but could care less about the other two. Ticket prices are also a little steep in my opinion. $140 for the 'Bling Ring'?? 'The Black Album' is on my list of essential albums, but I think I'm going to have to give this one a miss. Details for the Melbourne show are below:
