The band are getting on the plane again for upcoming tour dates in USA in
September, Australia in November, and New Zealand dates with UB40 in 2026.

For fans of reggae-infused rock, few bands have captured the essence of
global unity and pride quite like Katchafire.  Renowned as trailblazers of
Māori music, their soulful melodies and powerful lyrics have resonated
across continents, bringing together audiences from diverse backgrounds.
With a career spanning decade, Katchafire’s commitment to celebrating whānau
and roots remains at the core of their artistry, an ethos that drives every
note and every performance.

“Originally recorded around 2000, the Revival album was the band’s first
time together in a studio - our first time tracking and mixing and they
weren’t as hands-on as they are now with the process. We felt that certain
aspect of the finished album left us wanting, so remixing the album is
something we’ve always talked about. Twenty-three years on we got the
chance, and it was really fun to hear the original studio performances. They
still stand up today and it made me feel real proud of those early
recordings and the OG team” - Logan Bell (Katchafire singer and founding
member).
