Ice cold beer, will be providing the remedy to the late June heat and Xavier Rudd will be providing the soundtrack. This is going to be a truly exceptional evening!
Backed by his band The United Nations, the Aussie will feel almost at home in the Cornish sunshine with the waves crashing in the background. Since the very beginning, Xavier Rudd’s ability to connect with people has been his most powerful gift. The more he has toured the world, the more hearts he has touched and the more of the world he has put back into his music.
Now Xavier is booked to play probably his most apt venue to date in the UK - Lusty Glaze Beach.
