Not ones to do things by halves, Aotearoa's indie-folk talents Albi & The Wolves are taking the Long Way Round, skipping many of our main centres for an off-the-beaten-track winter tour, to be followed by a run of festival appearances across the ditch in Australia. Treating fans to the emotionally uplifting Americana of their 2023 studio album Light After The Dark (plus maxi-sized launch shows), the multi-instrumental core team of Chris Dent (aka Albi), Pascal Rogge and Micheal Young will be joined in Kirikiriroa, Ōakura, and Ōhau by drummer Hannah De Koster (Vox Venus). Wrap your ears around their big-hearted latest record don't miss Albi & The Wolves kicking up a ruckus across the motu at the following dates...


"This has been bubbling on the stove for a while but we've been pretty quiet about it. We have 9 NZ dates, 3 with Hannah De Koster on the drums and then four Aussie festivals. It's been a couple years so please tell your pals... We wanna make these rooms full and cozy!"
