Three New Shows Announced For Fat Freddy’s Drop Album Tour

Staff Writer

They’ve added dates to meet demand.

More Fat Freddy's Drop Fat Freddy's Drop Profile

So high has demand been for the album launch shows of New Zealand roots-soul masters Fat Freddy's Drop that the band have already had to add three more shows to their run around the country to ensure everyone who wants to gets a chance to see their brilliant show live.

The band will drop their brand new LP Blackbird next week and, after a bunch of overseas dates and an appearance at Splendour In The Grass, they will set out on a big national theatre tour in support of the record.

Their previously announced Melbourne show has sold out and there are barely any tickets left for the Sydney and Perth dates, so each of those cities has been given a second Fat Freddy's Drop show to meet the demand.

If you're looking to get a taste of what the band are going to bring to the stage on this tour, then you can see the band performing their new LP in full as they stream their set from London from 6am next Thursday 27 June AEST over on their YouTube channel.
