Knife Party Announce One Off Auckland Show!

Knife Party Announce One Off Auckland Show!

Debut LP Abandon Ship Out Oct 27

Only a month out from their high anticipated, gargantuan debut album, hard-hitting ‘seizure music/Haunted House/Spooky Roller Disco’ overlords Knife Party have announced they are heading to NZ for a one off performance at The Logan Campbell Centre on Tuesday 16th December. This show will be entirely GA, you can move from the floor to the seats, from the seats to the floor.

‘The tent was literally being ripped from the ground ... Knife Party absolutely killed it” – The Music

‘Leading no doubt about why the stage was given to them, Swire and McGrillen overloaded the senses, washing the crowd in colours and sound’ – Tone Deaf

The festival headliners and critically acclaimed electronic music heavyweights are no strangers to ground-breaking live shows. At Future Music Festival this year the pair unleashed their colossal ‘Knife Party Presents: Haunted House’ arena production (see here) – and now they’re returning with an updated and exhilarating show set-up, in celebration of the release of their long awaited debut album, Abandon Ship, released Monday 27 Oct (via Earstorm Records and Warner Music New Zealand).

Thanks to viral blockbusters like ‘Internet Friends’, 'Bonfire’, ‘LRAD’ and more, Knife Party’s raw energy is unstoppable. This August they revealed the first taste of their debut in ‘Resistance’ (listen here), which Zane Lowe premiered on BBC Radio 1. So far it’s been streamed over 750,000 times on SoundCloud, and was soon followed up with the brand new club banger ‘Begin Again’ (hear it here), which was Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record, and had fans quivering with anticipation for the new album. Last week, to coincide with the exclusive first play of ‘Begin Again’, the pre-order for Abandon Ship went live. Fans who pre-order it will receive ‘Resistance’ and ‘Begin Again’ straight away. Pre-order it here.

The stats on Knife Party are crazy: they’ve amassed over two million fans on Facebook, 72 million streams on SoundCloud, 34m plays on Spotify, 53 million views on YouTube. They’ve also truly conquered on the live front: performing in front of 100,000 revellers at Miami’s Ultra Music in 2013, completing sell-out tours of the US and UK and headlining festivals including Wireless, Electric Zoo, Future Music Festival and Tomorrowland – headlining its epic 10th anniversary (watch it here).

Joining Knife Party on tour is Perth drum’n’bass dynamo ShockOne. Since the release of Karl Thomas’s The ShockOne EP in 2009 (featuring ‘Polygon’), ShockOne has made his mark globally with 2013 debut albumUniversus, and killer tracks like Beatport chart-topper ‘Chaos Theory’ (listen here). With a constant stream of sold-out shows throughout Australia and Europe, plus headlining slots Creamfields, The Big Day Out, Future Music Festival and more. ShockOne has got the goods!

Knife Party’s special one off indoor Auckland show is guaranteed to blow your mind!
