From humble beginnings as a ‘jam band’ in Wellington in the late 90s, the award-winning seven-piece Fat Freddy’s Drop is now internationally regarded as one of the world’s finest live acts. Over their last four albums, the New Zealanders have navigated their way from the incubator of sunshine reggae through a colour-saturated field of soul psychedelia before swerving onto a desolate Detroit superhighway at night. It’s a potent mixt of jazz virtuosity and diaphragm-wrecking digital sonics that’s won them fans across the world at 1,000+ shows. About to embark upon their first Australian tour since 2016, Fat Freddy’s return to WOMADelaide after a five year absence – and we can’t wait.
