MY BABY, the internationally acclaimed Dutch-New Zealand trio, is set to return to New Zealand this summer for a nationwide tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the release of their debut album, Loves Voodoo!
Formed by New Zealander Daniel ‘Da Freez’ Johnson (guitar), Joost Sheik van Dijck (drums/vocals), and Cato van Dijck (lead singer and guitar), MY BABY has cultivated a devoted fanbase both in their home country and abroad. Renowned for their unique blend of blues, roots, and trance, the trio has left an indelible mark on the global music scene, gracing stages at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), Sziget (Hu), Lowlands (NL), Pinkpop (NL), and Boomtown Fair (UK).
The upcoming tour promises an electrifying experience as MY BABY revisits the soul-stirring tracks from their debut album, Loves Voodoo!. Audiences can also anticipate reworked renditions and performances of material from their more recent records.
The trio's dynamic and immersive live performances have garnered acclaim at local festivals, including WOMAD, Splore, and Electric Avenue. MY BABY's impact on Kiwi audiences is unmistakable, as the band's contagious energy and musical prowess continue to captivate fans across the nation.
MY BABY's New Zealand tour will kick off on January 4th, 2024, at Butlers Reef in New Plymouth and will traverse the country. In addition to these tour dates, the band will also make special appearances at several festivals, including Rhythm & Alps Festival in Wānaka, Shake & Bake in Wellington, Beach Break in Whangamatā, and Sunsetter Festival in Auckland.
