Drax Project Announce First Full UK & Ireland Tour For May 2025
35x Platinum-selling New Zealand sensations DRAX PROJECT are gearing up for their first full UK tour, kicking off with a highly anticipated performance at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on 17th May 2025. From busking on Wellington’s streets to sharing stages with Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello, Lorde and Christina Aguilera, Drax Project’s rise has been meteoric. Their hits, including Woke Up Late (feat. Hailee Steinfeld) and Catching Feelings, are well on their way towards a billion combined streams.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, Drax Project have previously sold out five London shows, cementing their reputation as one of New Zealand’s greatest musical exports. Their standout live energy has been captured on the band’s first-ever full-length live album, recorded over two unforgettable nights: Drax Project: Live at The Jazz Cafe, London that came out in November ’24.
“We’ve always wanted to bridge the gap between our recorded music and live performance roots,” says the band. “Recording at The Jazz Cafe felt like a natural step—it’s an iconic venue, and we’re honoured to join the ranks of artists who’ve graced its stage.”
The band’s signature sound of smart pop punctuated with groove, funk and saxophone brilliance and irresistible rhythms has dazzled fans worldwide. UK & IRE audiences will now get the chance to experience their magic live when they undertake a short tour in May 2025:
17th May – London, Islington Assembly Hall
19th May – Manchester, Yes (Pink Room)
20th May – Glasgow, King Tuts
