How SUM 41 Drummer FRANK ZUMMO Saved ELECTRIC CALLBOY’s Good Things Festival 2024 Shows In Australia – “He Learned The Set In 5 Hours” (Video)

Tour manager and YouTube content creator, Tank The Tech, has shared a new video recapping a situation during Electric Callboy’s recent Australian tour, which saw drummer David-Karl Friedrich fall ill, potentially derailing last week’s scheduled shows.

Tank The Tech: “Recently at the Good Things Festival in Australia, Electric Callboy’s drummer had to fly home hours before their first show, leaving a scramble to find a drummer to fill in. In this video I’ll share the full story from my experience and dealing with everything.”

Zummo has shared the video from the festival below.

There is a lot to celebrate for Electric Callboy these days. Two years after the release of TEKKNO (2022), their label Century Media Records, their agency CONTRA Promotion as well as their management Exact Management surprised the band in Cologne while being a part of one of the biggest TV shows in Germany.

After multiple awards for their singles “Hypa Hypa” and “We Got The Moves” in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, the TEKKNO album has reached Gold status in Finland. Furthermore, the album has surpassed half a billion streams worldwide and the music videos for their singles are close to a quarter billion views. With over 250,000 tickets sold for their TEKKNO World Tour alongside playing in front of millions of people headlining festivals all over the world, this has been the most successful tour in the band’s history. Their amazing live energy was also honored by Heavy Music Awards in the UK, winning an award for the third year in a row and the second time as “Best International Live Artist”.

After a busy year of successful shows and festivals around the world, the band is set to play at major festivals this winter, starting at Toyosu Pit in Tokyo, Japan, which sold out just four weeks after the announcement. Electric Callboy’s momentum continues with festival performances across the globe, reinforcing their lasting appeal and solidifying their status as a standout act in the music scene.
