Music News - Fat Freddy's Drop announce summer tour dates
31 July 2017 - 0 Comments
This summer
Fat Freddy's Drop will
tour their high octane shows across the homeland to hand picked locations,
combing vineyards and beaches to festivals and valleys culminating in a FFD
curated line up at Villa
Maria with internationals Hiatus Kaiyote from Melbourne
and Norman Jay MBE from
London. This is the third hook up with the legendary London DJ who unleashed
his good times tunes supporting Freddy's at Ally Pally, London and last
summer's Queenstown concert.
The tour will be the
first time that the band has played on home soil since they officially sold out
their largest headlining show in New Zealand earlier this year at the
aforementioned Villa Maria, with all 10,000 tickets being snapped
up.
It's also a chance to
experience songs off the band’s upcoming new album. They’ve road tested
two new songs already on a stupendous tour to England and Europe through June
and July and committed to studio lockdown until the New Zealand tour.
Hopepa aka Joe Lindsay - Freddy's
trombonist - says the live show is
“going
to be different again by the time summer rolls around” He’s
especially looking forward to
coming
home to Kerikeri" having attended Kerikeri High School
for a couple of years before his family moved to Whangarei.
Special guests on the
road include local stalwarts
Ladi6 who join Freddy's for the love of music at Kainui Road Vineyard
and
The Nudge back for the annual drop at Black Barn Vineyards. The concert in Christchurch
turns the tables with Freddy's playing as special guests for
Salmonella Dub for
their 25th Anniversary concert.
