Marksman Lloyd takes aim with new single and tour dates

WA rapper and poet Marksman Lloyd has announced a run of shows celebrating the release of his new single Jaws, which dropped on Thursday, August 20.

The Albany/Kinjarling-raised artist will kick things off at Prince of Wales, Bunbury, on Friday, September 5, before heading to Four5Nine, North Perth, on Friday, September 11, where he will be joined by special guests DJ Silence, No Hope Nolan, Poor Kelly (featuring Steve from The Steves), Sharin and Ayo Busari.

Lloyd will then wrap up the launch shows this summer with a performance at Settlers Tavern in Margaret River on Saturday, January 16.

Marksman Lloyd first made his mark as runner-up in the Australian National Poetry Slam at the Sydney Opera House, going on to build an eclectic, genre-blending catalogue that draws from hip-hop, folk, soul and more.

Having toured Australia, the US and South-east Asia, Marksman has also taken home the WAM Song of the Year, performed as a TEDx poet and shared stages with high-profile artists including Macklemore, Machine Gun Kelly and Peking Duk.

Marksman Lloyd’s new single Jaws is out now. Marksman Lloyd plays Prince of Wales on Friday, September 5; Four5Nine on Friday, September 11; and Settler’s Tavern on Saturday, January 16, 2026. Tickets are on sale now from marksmanlloyd.co
