Katchafire + Reiki Ruawai + Badassmutha - Brisbane

New Zealand reggae icons Katchafire are getting on the plane again, touring Australia in November, as they prepare to release 'Revival 2.0', which sees songs from their platinum debut album being remixed, remastered, and re-recorded with revered reggae names from around the world. With special guests, fellow Aotearoan Reiki Ruawai on all shows, and Brisbane/Magandjin's Badassmutha on the Byron and Queensland shows.

For almost twenty-five years, Katchafire have consistently produced songs that celebrate the importance of whānau (family), unity, and a strong sense of cultural pride. Their enduring commitment to these values is evident in every heartfelt melody they write and every dynamic live performance they deliver, ensuring that their music continues to inspire and uplift audiences everywhere.

Special guest Reiki Ruawa (also lead singer of band Mayasa) has already released a handful of singles showcasing his soulful vocals and pop-leaning production. Known for his charismatic presence and genre-defying sound and drawing from his diverse musical influences and experiences, Reiki Ruawai's music transcends boundaries, offering listeners an unforgettable sonic journey.

A Githabul, Migunberri-Yugumbeh, Gamilaroi woman based between Tulmur and Magandjin, Badassmutha is a multidisciplinary artist weaving stories through lyrical wit-poetry and catchy melodies, with an eclectic sound inspired by reggae, alt-pop, soul and funk.
