Fat Freddy's Drop

Fat Freddy's Drop, the genre-defying collective from Wellington, New Zealand, bring their mesmerising blend of dub, soul, reggae, jazz, and electronica to the UK for a run of unmissable autumn shows. Known for their legendary live performances and deeply hypnotic grooves, the seven-piece band have cultivated a fiercely devoted global following over two decades of boundary-pushing music. This is your chance to witness one of the Southern Hemisphere's most beloved live acts in some of the UK's most iconic venues. The tour kicks off on Friday 16 October 2026 at The Prospect Building, before rolling through O2 Apollo Manchester on the 17th, Rock City Nottingham on the 19th (14+ event), and O2 Academy Birmingham on the 22nd. The tour culminates in a spectacular finale at the legendary Alexandra Palace in London on Friday 23 October 2026 — a 16+ event and undoubtedly the crown jewel of the run. Ally Pally's vast, atmospheric hall provides the perfect stage for the band's immersive soundscapes and soulful, free-flowing jams. Expect euphoric, hours-long sets where no two nights sound the same, driven by Brent Kutzle's basslines, Dallas Tamaira's silky vocals, and a collective musical telepathy that is truly rare. Whether you're a long-time devotee or discovering Fat Freddy's Drop for the first time, this tour promises unforgettable nights of deep groove, communal energy, and world-class musicianship.
