Enthralling his fans, Rudd kicked off 2015 by unveiling his long-awaited dream project; a full-blown dub record, backed by a eight-piece international all-star band.
Supporting lead single Come People, Xavier Rudd & The United Nations embarked on a sold-out national tour in March that took them to packed theatres in every capital city.
Nanna has received rave reviews, and The United Nations are consistently proving themselves to be one of the best live bands in the world. Spending April and May in North America, the band have been met with even more sold-out shows.
Xavier Rudd & The United Nations will spend June and July on a European tour before heading back to Australia for the Flag Tour. The Flag Tour is not just regional Australia's first up-close introduction to Xavier Rudd & The United Nations, but also the largest regional tour Rudd has undertaken since his 2012 gold-selling release, Spirit Bird.
"In a time when Australia is digging deep, marching together and standing strong for our threatened communities in the northwest and simply the long awaited need for positive change for reconciliation in our country, I feel the spirit of this band is very important," Rudd said.
"This album, this tour, this family, The United Nations is an example energetically and spiritually of where we need to be as a nation.
"We will be touring regional places ... to deliver this message and celebrate the energy of one people with our fellow Australians. It's time to boogie."
