Place your order now for the not-to-be-missed ONE DROP event reuniting the original marauders of Aotearoa roots music Fat Freddy’s Drop, TrinityRoots and Cornerstone Roots.

The heavyweight line up bring ONE DROP to Matakana’s Ascension Wine Estate almost a decade after they all stepped it up at Raglan and Kaikoura festivals in the summer of 2003.

The recently re-formed TrinityRoots will feature new drummer/vocalist Jean Pompey bringing her dexterous chops to the hypnotic roots infused reggae dub jazz waka, while Cornerstone Roots represent the classic cool wave of conscious roots reggae.

The seven-headed Freddys soul monster is flying high with fresh material, spanning soul and reggae, to house and Afro-beat, road tested over the past year across Australia and on tours to UK and Europe in July and September. From selling out O2 Brixton Academy in London, Freddys off shore highlights include playing on Europe’s second biggest PA system at Fete de L’Huma Festival, Paris, playing to 3000 fans over two sold out nights at Melkweg, Amsterdam, selling out Vega, Copenhagen a month before the show, and selling out shows in five German cities. Freddys has co-headlined festivals with Prince, Grace Jones, The Roots, Joan Baez, Eryka Badu and The Kooks, and with the band fully established internationally enjoyed the luxury of travelling across Europe in two nightliner buses.

ONE DROP Matakana is an ALL AGES event. Gates Open from 5.00PM.
Ticket/Bus Packages available from Ticketmaster.
