Music News - Rudimental return this May for their biggest New Zealand tour yet
11 February 2016 - 1 Comment
Frontier Touring are pleased to reveal that that UK four-piece Rudimental will
return to Australia and New Zealand this May to play their biggest headline
shows to date, joined on tour by fellow UK powerhouse Jess Glynne plus local talent Thandi
Phoenix for all Australian shows.
The UK four-piece have gone from strength to strength with the release of
2015’s We The
Generation (out now via Warner Music Australia), featuring favourites
like Bloodstream, Never Let You Go, Platinum-selling
single Lay It All On Me (ft. Ed Sheeran)
and the new single Rumour Mill (ft. Anne-Marie &
Will Heard).
Rudimental celebrated the album’s release with a near sell-out global tour that
included a string of sold out Australian headline shows, explosive performances
at Glastonbury, Governors Ball Music
Festival, Bonnaroo and T in the Park, plus a coveted support slot on Ed
Sheeran’s Australian and New Zealand stadium tour that saw them play to more
than 250,000 fans this summer:
‘Rudimental
blew my mind with their extraordinary stage presence and musical abilities.’ –
AvenoirMag.com
‘No member was
stuck in one position for more than ten seconds, and the crowd felt they were
part of the action.’ – Music Feeds
‘It was a no
frills just talent sort of show’ – IsolatedNation.com
As well as tracks from We
The Generation, audiences can look forward to hits from
Rudimental’s impressive back catalogue including breakthrough single Feel The Love (ft. John
Newman), 2013 BRIT Single of the Year Waiting All Night (ft. Ella Eyre)
and Not Giving In (ft. John Newman &
Alex Clare) to name just a few.
Joining Rudimental for all shows excluding Adelaide will be fellow Brit Jess Glynne. After making her introduction to the global stage with featured vocals on Clean
Bandit’s 4x platinum Rather Be, 2015 saw Glynne become
the second British female solo artist in history to have five number-one
singles in the UK charts.
Following suit, Glynne’s debut album I
Cry When I Laugh (out now via Warner Music Australia) debuted at
the top of the UK charts and reached the top ten here in Australia. The album
touches on love and loss with an injection of optimism, reflected in platinum
selling tracks like Hold My Hand, Real Love, Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself, the
gold certified Not Letting Go (with Tinie Tempah)
and current smash ‘Take Me Home’. For the first time on this tour, Australians
and New Zealanders will be able to see Glynne’s powerhouse vocals and innate
songwriting talents come alive on stage.
‘…subtle yet
powerful, tender but determinedly down to earth’ – The Guardian
Rounding out the line-up for Rudimental’s Australian shows will be Sydney’s own Thandi Phoenix.
A refreshing soulful sensation, Phoenix has cultivated a sound that is equal
parts raw and enchanting and has already impressed audiences at Bluesfest, SoulFest and Splendour In The
Grass. Current single Come Around is the first taste of
exciting things to come, setting the tone for her highly anticipated debut EP –
lucky audiences on Rudiental’s Australian tour will be amongst the first to
hear slices from the forthcoming release.
Picture a packed stage full of profoundly talented artists and you have
Rudimental. A cacophony of backup singers and musicians line the stage
surrounding Rudimental’s four founding members - Amir Amor, Piers Agget, Kesi
Dryden and Leon Rolle - who bring all they’ve got to their performances.
With a history of sold out shows in Australia and New Zealand, fans best act
quick to secure their tickets to a tour that is guaranteed to be jam-packed
with thumping rhythms and mass sing-alongs – don’t miss out!
