Acclaimed NZ producer, songwriter & artist SOLA ROSA (AKA Andrew Spraggon) has today announced his return to Australian shores for the first time in over 10 years, with headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast set for March 2027.
Hot off the back of his celebrated eighth studio album IN THE MIDS which dropped in April this year, this tour follows on from a successful New Zealand run, including sell outs at Puketapu Hall (Hawke’s Bay) and San Fran (Wellington). The Auckland-based artist will be bringing his groove-driven set to Australian audiences with a new live format, featuring a new three-piece ensemble and a full AV show in-tow.
“It’s been way too long since I’ve played in Australia, so I’m really looking forward to getting back over. A lot of time and thought has gone into this new show. It’s stripped back to a three-piece, with the production front and centre and visuals from Creature Post running through the whole set. We road-tested it on the New Zealand tour earlier this year and it went down really well with the crowds, so I can’t wait to bring it to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.” SOLA ROSA
‘IN THE MIDS’ saw Spraggon further his dive into the sounds of electronic, R&B, Funk, Soul & Beats – collaborating with the likes of Muroki, Wallace, Blush’ko, Akosia and Iva Lamkum on the record.
Featuring singles ‘Jupiter (ft. Iva Lamkum)’, ‘Losing Time (ft. Muroki)’ and the dynamic ‘Like A Light In The Dark (ft. BRŪDE)’, the record is a love letter to the mix of genres that has become the blueprint for his signature style of production and arrangement.
Just prior to the Australian tour, Sola Rosa will be releasing a deluxe version of In The Mids, featuring remixes and edits of the album tracks – set for release in February of 2027.
