DRAX PROJECT ANNOUNCE FIRST HEADLINE SHOW IN BRISBANE

Multi ARIA platinum group Drax Project took the music world by storm in 2019 - rising from buskers in New Zealand to the US Top 40 and touring Europe with Camilla Cabello and Christina Aguilera. 

Hot on the heels of their new single Atmosphere - this winter, Drax Project finally made their Australian headline debuts in Melbourne and Sydney - after the Covid-19 cancellations of their two intended Sydney shows in March 2020. Now they're coming to Brisbane with a new single - Disrespect ft Charley - dropping August 25.

"We were so gutted Covid kept us from coming over in 2020 - we’ve been waiting a long time to come and play for you and to share some of our new music too; we couldn’t be more excited for these shows!” - Drax Project 

The Woke Up Late and Catching Feelings hitmakers - Shaan Singh, Ben O’Leary, Sam Thomson and Matt Beachen - were fast establishing themselves as one of the world’s emerging ‘must see’ live acts - with their high energy live performances, huge drops and soaring melodies seeing them invited to support the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Camilla Cabello, Brian McKnight, Christina Aguilera and Gorillaz Sound System, along with putting in killer performances at events like Rolling Stone Magazine's Coachella Party and the IHeart Festival in Las Vegas.

The extremely radio friendly new singles Atmosphere and Disrespect are the first releases off Drax Project's first studio album since 2019 and indicate emphatically that after a couple of years in splendid isolation, the boys are well and truly ready to take off again!

Drax Project will bring this energy to Brisbane’s Triffid club show on September 16th, 2023.

 Beginning as jazz students busking on the streets of Wellington New Zealand, Drax Project have grown into one of the most successful groups ever to come out of the country. Through their own headline tours, international festival performances and opening for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Christina Aguilera, Lorde, Brian McKnight and Camila Cabello, the band have established themselves as one of the world's emerging 'must see' live acts.

After two early EPs established their reputation in New Zealand, their self-titled debut album, on US label 300, made ripples around the world. To date Drax Project have collected over half a billion streams and 24 platinums internationally, with the single "Woke Up Late" ft Hailee Steinfeld recently passing the threshold for US Gold. "Catching Feelings" ft Six60 and Phony Ppl peaked at #16 in the US RnB radio charts. They accompanied Famous Dex on the standout single “Light” from his chart-topping gold-certified 2018 debut, Dex Meet Dexter, which bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 and more recently collaborated with Diamond certified New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap and Aacacia on the AUS/NZ hit "Firefly". Highlight US performances include the i-Heart Radio Festival, Rolling Stone Magazine's Coachella party and two sold out headline club shows in New York. They have the largest streaming New Zealand band on Spotify for over 3 years uninterrupted and have the biggest following of any major New Zealand music artist on TikTok.
