Xavier Rudd & The United Nations - Flag Australian Tour
Xavier Rudd Australian Tour. Xavier Rudd will be performing in Cairns, Townsville, Airlie Beach, Mackay, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast, Forster Area, Newcastle, Gosford, Dubbo, Katoomba, Bathurst, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Launceston, Bendigo, Traralgon, Geelong, Mount Gambier, Adelaide, Kalgoorlie, Esperance, Albany, Perth and Cowaramup.
Following straight on from their appearance at Splendour In The Grass this July, Xavier Rudd & The United Nations will tour Australia-wide throughout August, September and October to celebrate the release of Flag – the second single from their acclaimed debut album, Nanna.
Enthralling his devoted fans, Xavier Rudd kicked off 2015 by unveiling his long-awaited dream project; a full-blown dub record, backed by a eight-piece international all-star band. Supporting lead single Come People, Xavier Rudd & The United Nations embarked on a sold-out national tour in March that took them to packed theatres in every capital city, and ended with a triumphant homecoming in front of a capacity crowd at Byron Bay Bluesfest.
As the year has progressed, Xavier Rudd & The United Nations have become a global force. Nanna has received rave reviews, and The United Nations are consistently proving themselves to be one of the best live bands in the world. Spending April and May in North America, the band have been met with even more sold-out shows abroad, with New York, Toronto and Montreal all hitting capacity. Across the Atlantic, Xavier Rudd & The United Nations will spend June and July on a European tour, performing for fans in 16 cities across seven countries, before heading back to Australia for the Flag Tour. An incredible itinerary.
With 35 dates across all states (including performances at the Darwin Festival and Caloundra Music Festival) the Flag Tour is not just regional Australia's first up-close introduction to Xavier Rudd & The United Nations, but also the largest regional tour Xavier has undertaken since his 2012 gold-selling masterpiece, Spirit Bird. For his first full band, and the most dynamic album of his career, it's not surprising that Xavier Rudd wants to take The United Nations to every town in Australia.
"In a time when Australia is digging deep, marching together and standing strong for our threatened communities in the Northwest and simply the long awaited need for positive change for reconciliation in our country, I feel the spirit of this band is very important. This album, this tour, this family, The United Nations is an example energetically & spiritually of where we need to be as a nation. We will be touring regional places in Australia; some we've never been to, some we haven't been for a long time, in order to deliver this message and celebrate the energy of one people with our fellow Australians. Its time to Boogie!"- Xavier Rudd
Described by Rolling Stone as a "beautiful celebration of a global sound", Nanna is an amazingly uplifting listen. Mixed by the legendary Errol Brown, Flag is the perfect representation of this sound, and indeed the spirit within Xavier Rudd & The United Nations: it is a passionate call to unite, wrapped in pure Tuff Gong authenticity. The perfect song to take to the people.
