Over the past year NZ rock band Ekko Park have enjoyed significant success at home with the release of their debut album Tomorrow Tomorrow Today in November 2013, their new single Always A Fire is currently dominating the airwaves and it has just been announced they will join I Am Giant for the North Island shows as part of the Science and Survival Tour July 24 - August 2.

The band are also in demand internationally. They will travel to the UK and Ireland to play shows at iconic rock venues Voodoo in Belfast on September 27 and The Grand Social in Dublin September 27.

The talent of the band has been recognised by major promoter SJM Concerts who will present Ekko Park at the Camden Barfly on Thursday October 2.

Joe Walsh from Ekko Park comments “we are super excited to be headed to the UK & Ireland for our first headline tour there. As a Kiwi band, it’s really special to us that we get to play these 3 great venues in 3 great cities - places that not many local bands get the chance to play.”

Ekko Park is an Auckland 4 piece rock band with great pedigree - consisting of Joe Walsh (Lead Vocals / Guitar), Joel Halstead (Lead Guitar / Vocals), Nick Douch (Drums) and Callum Tong (Bass). Best described as “a ship captained by an Irishman and crewed by 3 kiwis” singer Joe, a born and bred Belfast boy, travelled the globe playing music before settling in NZ where he teamed up with 3 kiwi fellas who had been playing around the local scene in some well-known NZ bands. A collaboration of diverse backgrounds forming a unique and explosive offering in the NZ music landscape.
