Kora, born in the early ’90s with four talented brothers from Whakatane at its core, is renowned for its genre-blurring sound that melds electronic music with reggae, rock, dub, roots, and more.

Hits like Politician, Drop Dead Killer and On My Mind have earned Kora millions of Spotify streams and multi-platinum sales status in their native New Zealand.

The Black Seeds, a force in the music scene since the late ’90s, bring their distinctive reggae fusion to the stage. Seamlessly blending funk, soul, dub, and Afrobeat into their reggae foundation, The Black Seeds convey messages of hope and positivity through conscious lyrics.

Timeless classics like So True, Dust & Dirt, and Cool Me Down have solidified their status as musical mainstays.

As these two musical giants come together for a co-headlining tour, fans can anticipate a night of unparalleled energy, genre-defying sounds, and a shared celebration of the rich musical legacy these bands represent.
