Illusive Presents and Frontier Touring are elated to announce that experimental hip hop prodigy Night Lovell will play his first ever New Zealand show this May. The young Canadian will be stopping by Auckland to perform tracks off his acclaimed, independently released albums Concept Vague and Red Teenage Melody, as well as unreleased tracks from his upcoming album.

At the age of 20, Night Lovell has already locked away two full length releases. Concept Vague and Red Teenage Melody perfectly capture his singular and elusive approach to hip hop. Lifted from both records, his videos for ‘Dark Night’, ‘Jamie’s Sin’ and ‘Fraud’ are stylistically linked through grainy, cultivated landscapes of his hometown of Ottawa, Canada.

Today, Night Lovell continues to release a stream of new sounds that slowly curate his musical identity, which has seen his entry into trap heard on tracks like ‘Still Cold’ and ‘Contraband’.

For the past few years Night Lovell has been travelling around the world performing across Canada, the USA and Europe, and finally it’s our turn. His latest tour saw him sell out 28 dates across Europe, some of which were captured in Moscow, Kiev, Milan, Berlin and Prague.

The groundswell for Night Lovell is beginning. Come and see him before the rest of the world catches on.
