Xavier Rudd at the BIC

This is going to be totally awesome! Xavier Rudd last played in Bournemouth at the O2 late 2008, and blew everyone away with his one-man-band extravaganza.

This year promises to be bigger and better, now in the centre of town at the BIC Solent Hall - 2000+ capacity room with killer acoustics and has played host to the cream of UK and international talent.

"Rudd is known for his extraordinary stage show that finds him performing guitar, didgeridoo and various percussion parts simultaneously—using a unique set-up that literally surrounds him with various instruments, singing from behind a stand holding three didgeridoos of different keys. He has led sold-out tours in Europe, Canada, Australia and the US, both headlining and supporting the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. In Australia, he has collected a string of gold and platinum sales awards for his albums and DVDs." (Mandy Rogers, Transfer Media, Los Angeles, Calif)
