Aotearoa eight-piece The Black Seeds have today announced a 7-date Aotearoa tour in support of their upcoming new album, LOVE & FIRE (released June 17).

Kicking off with a hometown Wellington show on June 23, the tour then takes in six other New Zealand locations – New Plymouth on June 25, Auckland on June 30, Mount Maunganui on July 1, then to Hastings on July 2. The tour then travels to the South Island for gigs in Christchurch on July 8 and finishing up in Wānaka on July 9.

This is The Black Seeds’ first national tour in five years and the band are excited to be back on the road playing their new material; as well as all The Black Seeds’ classics fans know and love.

“It’s always great to tour a new album in Aotearoa. I think I personally get more nervous or just have higher expectations of myself playing new songs on a NZ album release tour… I really look forward to sharing our music,” says Dan Weetman.
