The Rock, Air New Zealand grabaseat and Jim Beam Present: I AM GIANT – KISS FROM A GHOST TOUR
I Am Giant announce a six date New Zealand tour this winter.
The Kiss From A Ghost tour will be I Am Giant’s first in their home country since UK based lead singer Ryan Redman joined the lineup, and the band is excited about getting back to see their fans all over the country.
Shelton Woolright is looking forward to being back behind his kit after his stint as a judge on New Zealand’s X-Factor, with his act Brendon Thomas and The Vibes reaching the top 4 in the competition.
He states “we can’t wait to get on the road this year with Ryan. Playing two shows at Homegrown in February was such a highlight for all of us. Touring is where we feel at home and I’m amped to get behind the drums on stage again“.
I Am Giant will be playing all the crowd favourites but bringing some new material to the stage, including the brand new single Kiss From A Ghost, the first from the upcoming EP of the same name. Featuring all new recordings with Redman and produced by Paul Matthews and Shelton Woolright the EP will be released later on in the year via Sony Music.
Since releasing Science and Survival last year, I Am Giant have been going from strength to strength, securing new fans in very high places, including Radio 1 DJ 'Daniel P Carter: “'There’s two things you need to know about I Am Giant. One, they're awesome, and two, they're awesome!”
Earlier in the year, the band secured a deal with FOX Sports in the USA featuring their single ‘Transmission’ in the live broadcasts across multiple codes, including the 2015 NASCAR season and 2015 USA NFL season.
Support acts for the tour will be announced soon. Tickets available through the band’s official website iamgiant.com
