African singer-songwriter Jeremy
Loops has just announced a global tour, which includes two
shows in New Zealand at Neck

The extensive tour, which will see him play 27 shows in 10 countries, across
three months, supports the upcoming release of his new album

Juxtaposing booming city rhythms with lilting folk, Jeremy Loops drew
critical praise in 2014 for his debut album
Trading Change, which won MTV Africa’s Alternative Album of the Year,
and iTunes South Africa’s Album of the Year.
His high-energy shows helped Loopsto build a cult-like live following, which saw him support Twenty One Pilots and
sell out his own headlining tour across Europe, cementing his place as one of
music’s most exciting, self-made success stories.
Now he’s thrilled to be announcing dates Downunder: “Getting to do Australia
and New Zealand as part of this CRITICAL
WORLD TOUR, and not something we try fit in when the gap in
schedule comes about, shows just how important performing in this region is to
us. And we know the love we give, Aussie and Kiwi crowds give will right back.”
Loops’
upcoming album
Critical As Water is produced by Will
Hicks (Ed Sheeran’s
Perfect, Lily Allen, Bastille), with
additional production contributions by Jake
Gosling (James Bay, The Libertines, Shawn Mendes).
It also contains the lead single
Waves,
a woozy summer anthem. Watch the video with the singer surfing crystal clear
waters in Mozambique alongside whales

When Loopsisn’t making music, he’s travelling to the furthest corners of Africa to battle
deforestation through his organisation,
Greenpop. Don’t miss your chance to see one of music’s newest and most exciting
raconteurs live in New Zealand this May.
Critical As Water is out on March 16 2018.
