It's time to fire up the barbie, slip into your jandels and celebrate the year
that’s been, and the year to come. It’s also that time again when KATCHAFIRE round
up their musical family and get their summer tour van fired up to head to some
of the country’s most well loved summer spots. This summer they’ll be joined by AARADHNA, SONS OF
ZION and sometimes by their brothers in arms KORA.

Katchafire have spent 2016 as they do most years touring
the globe, taking our homespun Maori roots reggae to the world. The Burn It
Down tour saw the band tour extensively throughout Australia, Europe, The
States and Canada, once again spending more of 2016 out of the country than at
home.
Nominated for four 2016 Vodafone NZ Music Awards - Our leading lady of Pacific
Soul, Aaradhna joins the caravan this year. Signed to Republic Records at the age of 29, Aaradhna has also
extensively toured the US with the likes of the screaming eagle of soul Charles
Bradley. This summer she calls NZ home and is packing her chart topping new
album – Brown Girl + her suitcase of hits for summer tour. She’s also bringing her band on the bus
featuring some of NZ’s top players - Jeremy Toy & Chip Matthews from the
Opensouls + The Tornadoes and Tom Broome from Homebrew + Esther Stevens and The
Means.
All aboard - Sons Of Zion, they may be the kids on tour but with their fusion of
reggae, heavy rock, dub and funk the Sons Of Zion know how to captivate
audiences. They too have spent the year playing to audiences around the globe,
including a recent tour in Hawaii, shows in Australia and their Hungover Tour
of the North Island. With a new album on the way, you can guarantee Sons of
Zion will be packing new songs including their latest singles Now + Hungover as
well as all their hits you know and love.
PLUS JOINED SOMETIMES BY KORA
…..
As one of New Zealand’s best-known live bands, Kora are confident both on stage
and in the recording studio, and with good reason – they have (so far) claimed
a platinum EP, a double platinum debut album, and two of their albums
peaking at #1 on the NZ chart. Their sound straddles multiple genres, from
reggae to metal, soul, and funk; but at their core, Kora’s unique and
electric sound fits no pigeonhole. With their brand new track Carolina, a
tatse of what's to come we welcome Kora aboard the bus
KATCHAFIRE.
