“…six albums, opening slots for internationally-renowned artists, and status among New Zealand’s most elite reggae groups” – ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
Hot on the heels of releasing their ‘Revival 2.0 Remixed & Remastered’ album, New Zealand reggae legends Katchafire have announced the ‘Revival 2.0 Guest Edition’ album will be released in November 2026. Every month leading up to the album drop, a single from their platinum debut album will be released featuring special guest singers, commencing with ‘Seriously (feat. Ali Campbell)’ of UB40, on February 6 amidst Katchafire’s NZ tour dates with UB40.
“Katchafire has performed at the world’s biggest reggae festivals and has had the privilege of supporting and befriending the world’s biggest reggae artists, some of whom are our musical heroes. We are fortunate to bridge the gap between our humble country of Aotearoa and the world. We have connected with global reggae communities in South America, America, Jamaica, Europe and beyond. We feel blessed to be able to collaborate with some of these living legends. We are excited to release the first single – “Seriously” featuring guest singer Ali Campbell of UB40. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed the process of creating “REVIVAL 2.0 – GUEST EDITION”, Katchafire singer and founding member Logan Bell said.
The ‘Revival 2.0 Guest Edition’ album will also include tracks by Hawaii’s Mike Love, Australian First Nations singer Emily Wurramara, and Jamaican legends Third World, amongst other roots and reggae luminaries to be revealed throughout the year.
Katchafire’s sound is defined by their seamless fusion of vibrant reggae rhythms with Māori influences, a unique combination resonates with listeners across the globe, making their music both deeply soulful and widely accessible.
As leading advocates for Māori music and Pacific reggae, for almost twenty-five years Katchafire have consistently produced songs that celebrate the importance of whānau (family), unity, and a strong sense of cultural pride. Their enduring commitment to these values is evident in every heartfelt melody they write and every dynamic live performance they deliver, ensuring that their music continues to inspire and uplift audiences everywhere.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
