Darude Announces Australia & New Zealand Tour This September

Staff Writer

"My 2015 tour in Australia was such a blast, I can't wait to touch down under again in September and party with you!"

More Darude Darude

Multi-platinum Finnish DJ/producer Darude, Ville Virtanen to his family, is set to return to the land down under and play a nine-date run around Australia and New Zealand this September.

Virtanen's critically acclaimed (and troll-worthy) Sandstorm, released in 1999, sent the DJ soaring into the charts with numerous awards and nominations. After dropping his fourth studio album Moments last year, Virtanen toured relentlessly across the Americas.

"My 2015 tour in Australia was such a blast, I can't wait to touch down under again in September and party with you!" Virtanen says.

The recent album release will have him ready get clubs pumping with the trance sound he is so well known for; he'll also be pounding out songs like Feel The Beat and Out Of Control to keep the party rolling on.

Hitting the ground running in New Zealand, Darude will head to eight shows around the country from 9 September, with more shows to be announced.
