The announcement of Steely Dan's first ever Australian and New Zealand
tour excited music fans far and wide. Now, The Frontier Touring Company is pleased to further add to the excitement with the confirmation that hit UK indie band World Party will be joining Steely Dan for all Australian and New Zealand tour dates.

Formed in the mid-Eighties after the multi-talented Karl Wallinger departed cult band The Waterboys, World Party quickly shot to success around the globe with the hit single 'Ship Of Fools'.

Wallinger's career, spanning over twenty years with World Party alone, has seen highs and lows. Wallinger's twenty year relationship with his label, Chrysalis Records, was severed after discovering his former label manager, and much of his band, had produced a near identical version of one of his songs, which went on to win Robbie Williams a Brit Award for Best Single. Shortly after his manager and mentor Steve Fargnoli died of cancer, and Karl had an aneurysm.

In 2007, a rejuvenated Wallinger is back on the touring circuit, with his own label and a remastered and repackaged edition of World Party's album Dumbing Up. With his sense of humour firmly in tow, Karl Wallinger and World Party will bring their special brand of party fun to the stage this September.

Tickets to Steely Dan with special guests World Party go on sale in Australia and New Zealand on Monday 23 April.
