Christof Van Der Ven & Jed Parsons ‘Together At Last’ NZ Tour Announced

London songsmith Christof van der Ven (of Bear’s Den) is embarking on an extensive tour of Aotearoa this summer, joined for the sparkling sun-soaked fun by none other than Canterbury guitar-pop maestro Jed Parsons. Van der Ven will be here touring his 2019 long player You Were The Place and newly released Live at RAK EP, while Parsons (who's just opened a new Christchurch venue named The Shelter) will be celebrating the launch of his tantalisingly titled forthcoming single ‘Playstation & Porn’. The pair's Together At Last tour will see them bringing the good times to venues the length and breadth of our fine nation – scope out the details right here...

Press release:

Somehow finding time between his busy touring schedule as a member of leading UK band Bear’s Den, and his own solo shows playing alongside the likes of Bon Iver and The Staves, Christof van der Ven is bringing his alternative-folk all the way down to Aotearoa. He joins 2018 IMNZ Debut Release of the Year nominee Jed Parsons, who, in his relatively short indie-pop career, is already settling into the dizzying heights of people saying “oh yeah, I think I’ve heard him before”.

Since having both released their debut albums in 2018, between them Christof and Jed have clocked up over 10 million streams online, toured to all corners of the world and played at major festivals - Jed having appeared on stage at Auckland City Limits and Electric Avenue; Christof at Glastonbury among many others.

Throughout January, they will play 14 shows across the country from secret house concerts to popular venues and festivals. Jed Parsons will be promoting his brand new single Playstation & Porn (releasing on January 24th), while Christof van der Ven continues to tour his latest incredible album You Were The Place released in 2019.

Together At Last, they will melt hearts.
