Formed by New Zealander Daniel ‘Da Freez’ Johnson (guitar), Joost Sheik van Dijck (drums/vocals), and Cato van Dijck (lead singer and guitar), MY BABY has cultivated a devoted fanbase both in their home country and abroad. Renowned for their unique blend of blues, roots, and trance, the trio has left an indelible mark on the global music scene, gracing stages at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), Sziget (Hu), Lowlands (NL), Pinkpop (NL), and Boomtown Fair (UK).

The upcoming tour promises an electrifying experience as MY BABY revisits the soul-stirring tracks from their debut album, 'Loves Voodoo!' Audiences can also anticipate reworked renditions and performances of material from their more recent records.
