Mel Parsons - Regional Sabotage Tour

Following on from Mel Parsons’ sold out Sabotage Tour in June, Plus1 is delighted to announce 16 regional shows around Aotearoa New Zealand to meet demand for more shows in more cities.

From Whangarei in the north to Invercargill in the south, Mel Parsons undertakes a huge run of shows kicking off on September 12th finishing October 20th. The tour announcement is hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed new album Sabotage, which peaked at No. 2 in the New Zealand Album Charts.

Parsons, who is shortly bound for Canada performing at the prestigious Vancouver Folk Festival, also brings us a lush new music video to accompany the album’s final
single ‘5432’ filmed in the artists’ hometown of Lyttelton. The song is a crowd favourite in her live set, and features soaring Crosby Stills & Nash-style vocal harmony
& hypnotic guitars. Click here to watch the video for "5432"

Sabotage is the multi-award winning artist’s sixth studio album, and fans have already lapped up singles Offer Down, Little Sadness, Circling The City, and new single ‘5432’.

The album, recorded in Lyttelton at Basement Studio and co-written and produced with Josh Logan, sees a contemplative Parsons skilfully weaving together a tapestry of ethereal and hypnotic soundscapes. The songs are raw, and at times dark – perhaps a reflection of the time in which they started to emerge; written across lockdowns.
