of their debut album MIX.
Katchafire, the Black Seeds
and Tomorrow People are
all coming on 27 December.
Katchafire developed their
roots reggae sound as a Bob
Marley tribute band in the 90s
- under a Waikato ponga tree
rather than a Jamaican palm
frond. The seven-piece have
gigged extensively, earning a
reputation for the accessible
revivalist euphoria of their
live shows. The Black Seeds
are a musical group rooted in
reggae from Wellington, New
Zealand. Their rocksteady-influenced
song “One By One”
became an international hit
when it was played in top
ranked TV series Breaking
Bad. And Tomorrow People
is a seven-piece New Zealand
reggae band that formed in
2010. Their debut album ONE
was released on 1 June 2012.
The record-breaking,
chart-topping Shapeshifter
have just revealed their summer
show on 28 December,
2019. Shapeshifter will be
joined by The Upbeats w/ Tiki
and Sunshine Soundsystem.
Shapeshifter emerged in 1999
with a unique stadium-sized
sound. Capable of morphing
from rolling drum ‘n’ bass to
pummelling guitar-driven jams
to horizon-shifting electronic
soundscapes, they have long
been a must-see act that never
fails to deliver. Get in early to
secure your tickets, and make
memories once again this
Summer.
