Fat Freddy's Drop Announce Summer Tour Dates with a Huge International Line up at Villa Maria!
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 - Freddys 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.
