Clap Clap Riot Announce March Aotearoa Tour

Tāmaki Makaurau indie rock champs Clap Clap Riot are hitting the four main centres this March, playing their first nationwide tour since the halcyon pre-Covid days of 2019. The team of Dave Rowlands, Stephen Heard, Tristan Hemi and Anthony Metcalf used last year's lockdown time productively, getting the ball rolling on a whole new album (their fourth), which they're currently putting the magic finishing touches on with producer Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins) at Mount Eden's The Lab. The four piece will be debuting fresh tunes alongside crowd favourites to lucky punters in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin — get in ahead of the throngs and secure your spot at the following dates...

Press release:

This March will see Auckland indie rock band Clap Clap Riot head out on their first nationwide tour since 2019.

Between lockdowns and a sold-out guilty pleasures show at Auckland's Whammy Bar, the band has been working on the follow-up to their third full-length album. The final flourishes are currently being put on the yet-to-be-titled release, which is being recorded with producer Tom Healy inside Mount Eden studio The Lab.

Ahead of the release, Clap Clap Riot will visit four centres across the country to perform a combination of crowd favourites and new material.
