New Zealand’s perennial roots reggae band Katchafire returns to Australia in September celebrating 25 years.
The Legacy Tour is currently underway overseas and has already seen them complete a 6 week tour of the USA earlier this year and sold out shows across New Zealand in May. The ‘Fire boys are heading back to the US in June & July before returning to Australian shores to bless us with some sweet roots reggae music once again.
With four highly successful studio albums, multiple awards, platinum sales, high-selling singles, and a massive worldwide fanbase, the band has crafted a universal vibe with their sound being built on the foundations of classic roots reggae, RnB, funk, modern dancehall and slinky reggae pop.
2017 will see them celebrating 20 years of existence and this year a new album will be released.
Joining Katchafire are some very special guests including Ria Hall (New Zealand) on four shows in NSW and Victoria, The Hanlon Brothers from the Gold coast will be at a few, along with rock/reggae maestros The Sea Gypsies from the Central Coast, DJ Tickelz and DJ Red.
