From France, to the Netherlands, Japan, USA and beyond “We Deserve To Dream” will resonate with everyone’s growing sense for freedom.Ģ022 promises to be a big year with the release of Xavier Rudd’s tenth studio album, and a world-wide tour where he longs to re-connect with his fanbase again live on-stage. We Deserve To Dream will further appease Xavier Rudd’s loyal global fan-base who embraced his recent single “Stoney Creek” with over 3.150M streams whilst at the same time his keynote “Follow The Sun” clicked over 50M views on YouTube. The accompanying film clip symbolically encapsulates this point in life via dance and features renown First Nations dancer Tyrel Dulvarie. “We Deserve to Dream” features steel guitar, Xavier’s signature percussive beat drives this spirited song that builds to a sweet soaring chorus with an anthemic bent. We Deserve To Dream speaks of the freedom that is ours to be found in the elements of the land, the ocean, the trees, yet we find ourselves locked up in layers of conditioning thrust upon us by our life. I feel that this 2022 European tour will be extra special”, says Xavier Rudd. To host a space where people can let go and dream and move and shake off the weight of the world is very powerful and I honour that space. I feel like the clouds are slowly lifting and as people emerge from this time I’d like to be there with music. “Life has been tuff for everyone this last few years and now more than ever people deserve to dream big. Head HERE for more details.Just as Xavier Rudd releases We Deserve To Dream - the second track from his forthcoming tenth studio album due in early 2022 - he announces news of a massive European and UK ‘We Deserve To Dream' tour in 2022 covering eighteen countries.

Rock on.īobby Alu‘s new album Flow is out now.
Great to hang with my mate Xavier again for the past month. This is me quietly freaking out and also loving life. My first ever show in Canada was in Montreal. There was many a whisky and a laugh this past month.
This is the first tour we’ve been able to do together since uni finished ten years ago. Find information on all of Xavier Rudd’s upcoming concerts, tour dates and ticket information for 2022-2023. He’s a boss keyboard player and has toured the world with Wolfmother, Ash Grunwald, Matt Corby and now Xavier Rudd. We went to music uni together (Bachelor of Popular Music at Griffith Uni on the Gold Coast). We arrived in the state of Quebec in Canada and poutine was on the agenda. Playing in Brooklyn NY is always a feel good moment. Her dad (in true Samoan uncle style) insists that I join them for a meal… I thought why not! This is me and Paulo after we ate some food and jammed some Samoan songs before they came with me to the show. This lady and her family in a tiny town in North Carolina love the videos and my music. Turns out some of the videos went viral in the Samoan community around the world. Sometimes I post videos of me and mum singing traditional songs together. So I got a DM on my Facebook from a woman in North Carolina. There is the odd time where you might not get a shower… as seen here, for me the next best thing is finding a late night restroom and washing those feet. Every day you wake up in a new city, sound check, eat, play the gig, shower then back on the bus and fall asleep while the bus drives through the night…. Life on the bus is great, don’t get me wrong. Funnily enough, the venue is called Vinyl Music Hall, go figure. Of all the shows I sold the most vinyl here. This gig was fire, in a town called Pensacola. Salt in the air, a bit of humidity and people here walk a bit slower.
#Xavier rudd tour full
It was always a trip playing songs in an empty room then a few hours later playing full of people. Soundcheck at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. They are different to the ones in North Queensland or Polynesia. When the bus stops sometimes you have a short moment to find some food. This is me, recording some uke shapes in front of Xavier Rudd’s tour bus that I jumped on.īusiness up top and pyjamas on the bottom. Thanks to the dateline, I flew 12 878km but managed to make my show Friday night at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado.
Friday morning I made my 11am Bris-LA flight easy as. Dealing with the after-show adrenaline, a few sneaky tequilas and a final pack and luggage weight check – I shut my eyes at 3.23am. I played a show at BIGSOUND in Brisbane on the Thursday night.
