Friday Jams Live

Frontier Touring, Illusive Presents and ZM are bursting with excitement to reveal the explosive final act for Friday Jams Live 2018 - the one and only Taio Cruz! This November, the British legend will be joining the most stacked Friday Jams lineup New Zealand has ever seen, at the iconic Western Springs Stadium, featuring Usher, Lil Jon, Salt N Pepa, T-Pain, Eve, Naughty By Nature, Ginuwine, Estelle, Che Fu + The Kratez, Kings and your host, Fatman Scoop.

Taio Cruz is a bonafide hit machine with chart-topping singles across the globe, stacks of awards to his name, and even a performance in front of an audience of billions at the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony under his belt. He’s also a friend and collaborator to an encyclopaedia of talent, from David Guetta, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Britney Spears to Busta Rhymes, Flo Rida, Ludacris, and not to mention his co-write with Friday Jams Live 2018 headliner Usher on his mega anthem ‘Without You’.

Unmistakable tracks like ‘Dynamite’, ‘Hangover ft. Flo Rida’ and ‘Break Your Heart’ have contributed to Cruz selling more than 5 million albums and 100 million singles across his spectacular career. In fact, he’s the only black British artist to have had back-to-back #1 singles in the US. And of course, who could forget his collab with Kylie, ‘Higher’?

The singer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and multi-instrumentalist has a brand new track with French Montana out right now, ‘Row The Body’, with more to follow. He’d earnt a Brit Award within a year of leaving college, and soon he’ll be touching down on NZ soil for Friday Jams Live to show the us just what makes him so special.

Friday Jams Live - aka the party of the year - is going to be bigger than ever in 2018. It’s the biggest lineup to date, and there’ll be off-the-chart production to match, from massive sound and A-class lighting to huge screens and more than enough pyro to properly light up Cruz’s ‘Dynamite’ live!
