NEWS: The Black Seeds & Katchafire Summer Tour

Monday , 01 Nov 2010

Renowned globally for their legendary live shows and platinum-selling albums which have bottled the essence of the outdoor kiwi summer for over a decade, The Black Seeds and Katchafire have teamed up for five highly anticipated shows this New Year.

Riding high on the back of recent album releases (Katchafire’s On The Road and The Black Seeds’ Specials), and successful touring stints across Europe and North America, these two reggae heavyweights now join forces to perform at some of the country's favourite summer spots including: Waihi, Mt Maunganui, Mangawhai, Opononi and Oakura (New Plymouth).

Both highly decorated veterans of the New Zealand roots/reggae scene, Katchafire and The Black Seeds have gone from being local underground dancefloor fillers to performing at some of the world’s major music festivals. Now you can catch these two acts together, live in concert this New Year for what will be the perfect summer kick-off for any roots fan.

With all shows held at limited capacity venues, be sure to purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment.
