Speaking about the tour in a press release, SHERELLE said: “Everything has gotten super expensive, which really concerns me so I really wanted to do a tour with cheap tickets for my fellow bocats on a budget. SHERELLELAND stems from an idea I had whilst traveling and DJing last year. When I should have been focusing on my blends, I was actually observing everyone in the room and I think following COVID and rising costs is making it harder to go out. So collectively as a community we need to band together.”

She continued: “I always want to do something that makes me super happy, and since I didn’t have a nice year last year due to personal issues, I really want to make sure I start 2024 in a really nice, positive, and gorgeous way. I feel that SHERELLELAND is essentially the epitome of this. I don’t want people to just buy a ticket, come to the rave, and then go home – I want to give them shit. They can walk away with something feeling like they had an actual experience.
“I want to say a massive thank you to all the amazing clubs that have made it possible. Having all of them be so open and welcoming to the idea of a cheaper tour and seeing them do it for the love of the music and not money, is a really special thing. We all did try to make this as cheap as possible. I’m very grateful for all the people involved. I hope that with every show I do this year there will be an element of something I can give back to people because I know how precious money is at the moment for everyone, so lots of love to everyone that comes down”
