On the back of announcing their new EP ‘Diamond’ yesterday, Drax Project are stoked to announce they will bring it to life in Tāmaki Makaurau this July, playing a one-off release party at Avondale’s Hollywood Theatre. The party will take place on Friday July 8, the same day Diamond is released. 

As the world eases back into life, Drax Project are easing back into music with their EP Diamond. The last two years have been a reset for everyone, Drax Project included. For this EP, they decided to put out a collection of songs they themselves love to play live, Diamond features fan favourites ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Fashion Sense’ alongside songs the boys wanted to record in studio after playing them live for years. Fans can expect to hear these new songs played live along with the Drax Project hits that we all know and love as the band ramp back into playing live for their fans.  

It has been over a year since Drax Project last headlined a performance in Auckland and anybody who has seen them live knows that the stage is where Drax Project shine. This release party promises to be no different with the Hollywood Avondale providing the perfect intimate space for Drax to party with 500 of their closest mates. 

Also celebrating their EP release on the same day is must see opening act AACACIA. Having recently taken out the #1 spot on the Official New Zealand Hot Singles Chart with her sultry pop number ‘Home Away From Home’ AACACIA got her break after she entered a competition to sing with Drax Project at Rhythm and Vines in 2019. It was a dream come true for AACACIA who has now played on the biggest stages in New Zealand at SIX60 Saturdays, Sky Stadium and Eden Park and RnV, featured on Drax Project’s single ‘Firefly’ with Fetty Wap, all the while cementing herself as one of Aotearoa’s brightest new talents. Her latest single ‘Move Boy’ is out now and fans can expect to hear AACACIA’s dynamite vocals and high energy live show this July.
