Sleaford Mods Debut New Zealand Show Announced
UK electronic punks Sleaford Mods are heading to Aotearoa for the very first time this coming February, to play a one-off headline event at Auckland's The Powerstation. Famously acclaimed by Iggy Pop as “undoubtedly, absolutely, definitely the world's greatest rock n roll band,” Sleaford Mods are a group like none other. Since getting the ball rolling in 2007, Jason Williamson's snarling and bleakly hilarious spoken wordplay plus Andrew Fearn's driving loops have proven to be an unmatchable equation, railing against mediocrity and reimagining punk for our contemporary age over eleven studio records including this year's smashing long player Eton Alive. Don't even think of missing the Nottingham duo this summer, for what's sure to be a real deal live highlight of 2020...

Press release:
Solid Entertainment are thrilled to announce that for the first time ever SLEAFORD MODS are coming to play in New Zealand.
A band on all right-thinking music fans must-see list. One of the most important, most written about, most authentic, most acclaimed, most divisive, and most utterly brilliant bands of the last decade. The Powerstation, Friday 28th February, 2020 – they’re yours!
SLEAFORD MODS are one of the most politically charged and thought-provoking bands in music today. Stumbling into the music scene in 2013 at a time of political and creative austerity, their breakthrough album ‘Austerity Dogs’ surprised many and caught the moment, spearheading a punk renaissance and paving the way for a generation of new artists. Five critically acclaimed albums later, Sleaford Mods find themselves lauded for exhilarating and brutally brilliant live shows and heralded as Iggy Pop’s favourite band; still paving the way for those who follow.
SLEAFORD MODS hail from Lincolnshire in England and are Jason Williamson (lyrics and vocals) and Andrew Fearn (music). They are a band like no other.
