Show promoter Brent Eccles from Eccles Entertainment offered, "I'm very excited as a promoter but especially for the band as they so deserve it!. We have had a fantastic relationship with Villa Maria over the years hosting some of the best local and international touring acts. It is truly a unique venue that is loved by the both the crowd and the artists alike."

The show will also be the highest capacity ever held at the Villa Maria venue. Founder and owner,  Sir George Fistonich reacted to the news,  “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Fat Freddy’s Drop to Villa Maria. We’re anticipating our largest crowd yet and are preparing for a great day for everyone to enjoy our beautiful venue, delicious wine and fantastic music.”
