Freedom for Xavier Rudd
HAVING sold out his last concert in Cairns, Xavier Rudd is coming back to Munro Martin Parklands to officially kick off summer with his ‘Freedom Sessions’ tour for an unforgettable night of timeless classics and new sounds.
His show is expected to be sold out again on Saturday, September 28.
Fresh out of his North American and European tour with his latest EP Freedom Sessions, he is back in the tropics ready to sing along with his loyal FNQ fans.
“It feels good to be back, it’s been a long ride overseas, so I’m really happy to be coming home to Australia, so I’m very excited,” Mr Rudd said.
“I’m really excited to also be back in Cairns. The last show in Munro Martin Parklands was beautiful, it’s a great venue and we had an amazing night, so it’s going to be extra special. It’s going to be a different show this time and it’s pretty rare that we get up there, so it’s even more special.”
Mr Rudd said for this show he was bringing his latest EP Freedom Sessions and some of his beloved classics like ‘World Order’.
“Freedom Sessions was generated out of that Covid time where a lot of the music was written about starting to lose our freedom and people were considering what that freedom really means and how lucky we are to be able to have it,” he said.
“The songs started coming out from that season and the aftermath when we were able to be out in the world again and what that meant, so Freedom Sessions touches on that sense of freedom.
“This is a very different show. I’m using more stuff than I ever use and I’m showcasing some of the new songs and bringing new versions of my older songs.
“I’d say ‘World Order’ out of my new EP is really fun to perform live and the crowd is really into and songs like ‘Follow the Sun’ are very special to people. I just enjoy playing songs that people can relate to, so come along if you’d like, we don’t get to North Queensland very often and it’s going to be a unique show.”
