Due to a few unavoidable reasons ranging from the illness of his DJ to floods in Brisbane, the upcoming Australian tour by Grammy Award-nominated rapper, actor and poet Mos Def has had to have all dates rescheduled.
The good news is that ‘The Ecstatic Tour’ is going ahead in full. Final rescheduled dates have now been confirmed as:

Mos did an interview with national broadcaster triple j talking about the upcoming tour earlier this week, you can hear it here: http://soundcloud.com/peacemusic-1/mos-def-phone-interview
Unfortunately, despite promoter Peace Music’s best efforts, due to artist scheduling clashes brought about by the Australian date changes, previously announced support slots by Pharoahe Monch and Talib Kweli will not be going ahead. Australian support slots will remain the same but any international supports are TBA.
Everyone at Peace music has been working tirelessly to assure that the tour has been delivered.
The Ecstatic Tour is Mos Def’s first ever headline tour of Australia and has been titled in support of his current album of the same name. Released June 09, ‘The Ecstatic’ (his 4th studio album to date) just earned Def a 2010 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album. Rolling Stone magazine named it the seventeenth best album of 2009.
