to Drax Projectat the Powerstationin Auckland sold out in less than 10 minutes when they went on sale earlier
this week. Now due to overwhelming demand, the phenomenal four-piece is adding
a second show on Saturday,
May 12.
The Saturday show will be licensed, with a allocation of all-ages; while the Friday, May 11 show remains R18.
Drax Project drew massive crowds and praise from concert-goers and critics alike with their mind-blowing opening slots for Ed Sheeran at Mt Smart last month.
Presented by ZMand Eccles Entertainment, the band’s two Powerstation shows follow on from their chart-topping smash hit Woke Up Late, which has amassed 6.3 million streams on Spotify. The song has also spent weeks on Top 40 radio in New Zealand, reaching #1 in the radio pop charts and #2 all airplay - an amazing feat for a local act. The single has also been certified Platinum.
Drax Projectstarted life as a drums and sax busking duo - Shaan Singh and Matt Beachen - making a name for themselves in Wellington with their busking sessions on Courtney Place. They soon grew into a four-piece enlisting Sam Thomson on bass and Ben O’Leary on guitar.
Their debut EP T/W/OO was released in April 2016, followed by a Live Covers EP in 2017. Then came the breakthrough hit Woke Up Late at the end of 2017.
They have also just released Light - a collaboration with top 40 rapper Famous Dex - on US label 300.
