Description

Presented by AEG PRESENTS FRANCE (LR-21-2451/LR-21-2452) The legendary Fat Freddy's Drop return to the stage in 2026 for an exceptional world tour celebrating their cult album Based On A True Story. More than twenty years after its release, this seminal record continues to inspire generations of fans with its unique blend of reggae, soul, dub, funk, and electronic groove. The band will perform five dates in France this autumn: September 28 at Le Bikini in Toulouse, October 6 at Le Radiant in Lyon, October 7 at Le Rocher de Palmer in Bordeaux, October 9 at Le Zénith in Nantes, and October 10 at Le Zénith Paris – La Villette. This tour will mark a significant moment for the band, their first concerts since the passing of Chris “MU” Faiumu, a founding member and pillar of their sound. Together, the musicians have chosen to continue this adventure as a tribute to their brother and the music they created with him. As singer Dallas Tamaira says, «Honoring our intentions with MU also means playing this album live, with all our hearts.» Released in 2005, Based On A True Story became a true phenomenon: an independent album that became the longest-charting record in the New Zealand Top 40, winner of eight New Zealand Music Awards and the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Music Award in the UK. This masterpiece was the springboard to an international career filled with legendary concerts and an unbreakable bond with audiences. In 2026, Fat Freddy's Drop are hitting the road again to share their inimitable sound—a captivating blend of groove, energy, and pure emotion. Get ready for a rare moment: a vibrant, powerful, and profoundly human musical journey.
