The 10-date tour will begin 7 October in Invercargill, wrapping up in Hamilton.
New Zealand hip hop legend Che Fu has announced a string of shows to celebrate 25 years since his breakthrough album, Navigator.
Backed by The Kratez, with special guests Aaradhna, Betty-Anne and King Kapisi, the ten date tour will begin 7 October in Invercargill followed by sets in Dunedin, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, Palmerston North, Napier, Auckland, Rotorua and wrapping up at BNZ Theatre in Hamilton.
Che Fu made a second appearance on the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame at the recent Aotearoa Music Awards. Supergroove, the funk band group he fronted as a teenager, was inducted in 2014.
Che rose onto the NZ music scene in the early 1990s, when Supergroove formed on New Years Eve 1989/1990. The band was still in high school when they wrote hits like 'Can't Get Enough' and 'Scorpio Girls'.
The Niuean/Māori musician went out on his own at 21 to become a pioneer of consious hip hop in Aotearoa, weaving Pasifika and te ao Māori into his music. One of Che's early solo singles, 'Chains', is still one of the biggest singles to come out of New Zealand, springboarding his status as a solo artist.
Che's 2001 album, Navigator, won five won five Tūī and bagged that year's People’s Choice award at the Aotearoa Music Awards, as well as the 2002 APRA Silver Scroll for ‘Misty Frequencies’.
Tickets go on sale 12pm Monday 3 August.
