OLIVER TREE PRESENTS ALONE IN A CROWD heralds the eagerly awaited arrival of Oliver Tree’s upcoming third solo album, ALONE IN A CROWD, arriving via Atlantic Records on Friday, September 29. Pre-orders are available now HERE.
 
ALONE IN A CROWD includes recent hits like “Bounce", joined by an official music video – written, produced, and directed by Oliver – streaming now on YouTube HERE. The album will also include last year’s high-energy RIAA Certified collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Robin Schulz, “Miss You,” which swiftly amassed over 600M global streams following top 10 debuts on both Billboard’s “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” chart and the UK’s Official Singles Chart. Recently certified 2x Platinum in Australia as well as Platinum in both the UK and Canada, the track is accompanied by a typically quirky, Oliver Tree-directed official music video, currently boasting more than 200M views via YouTube HERE.
 
A one-of-a-kind artist who continues to top the charts and sell out amphitheatres worldwide, Oliver Tree explores and dissects the absurdity of modern culture, fame, and social media with Dadaist meta-humour unlike any other. ALONE IN A CROWD – which introduces a new character to Tree’s surrealistic universe, fashion designer Cornelius Cummings – serves to reflect both the light and the darkness of human nature within popular culture, holding up a mirror while simultaneously embracing the absurdity of it all through rich themes of loneliness, disconnection, and the ridiculousness of our shared human experience.
 
Now boasting more than 5B global streams, over 2B YouTube views, over 15M TikTok followers, and a cumulative social reach of over 30M, Oliver Tree has already had a very productive 2023 with such electric releases as his first-ever collaboration with fellow superstar David Guetta, “Here We Go Again,” streaming now HERE. An official lyric video, written and directed by Oliver, has earned over 14M views via YouTube HERE.  “Here We Go Again” in turn followed KSI’s “Voices (Feat. Oliver Tree),” joined by an official music video now boasting close to 7M views HERE.
 
With over 20M monthly listeners on Spotify, Oliver wrapped up his very busy 2022 with the long-awaited release of COWBOY TEARS DROWN THE WORLD IN A SWIMMING POOL OF SORROW, an expanded deluxe edition of his acclaimed sophomore LP, COWBOY TEARS, available now HERE. Highlights include such favourites as “I Hate You,” “Placeholder,” and “Suitcase Full Of Cash,” the latter accompanied by an official visual featuring guest appearances from viral stars Alissa Violet, Tana Mongeau, Viking Barbie, and  Melissa Ong, streaming now at Oliver’s YouTube channel HERE.
 
Oliver – who lit up last month’s Governor's Ball in New York City with a top-billed, typically show-stealing performance – celebrated the impending arrival of ALONE IN A CROWD with his biggest headline show to date, “OLIVER TREE – THE WORLD’S TINIEST TAP DANCER – LIVE AT RED ROCKS,” a once-in-a-lifetime concert event at Morrison, CO’s world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

LIL TJAY ANNOUNCES NEW ZEALAND DATES AS PART OF GLOBAL TOUR

NYC rapper LIL TJAY today announces that New Zealand will be the first stop of his Beat the Odds global tour this October. Kicking off at Spark Arena on October 13, Lil Tjay will then cross the ditch to perform at Yours and Owls festival in Wollongong before heading to Melbourne’s Festival Hall and concluding at The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane.    

Tickets go on sale at 12pm, Friday 21 July.  

My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the My Live Nation presale beginning Thursday 20th July from 12pm. For complete tour and ticket information, visit: www.livenation.co.nz.

Before emerging as an internet heartthrob with streams in the multi-millions, Lil Tjay was just a kid with humble beginnings in the Bronx. Delving deeper into his story reveals the compelling biography of a young individual who endured the burdens of adult sins and their consequences, all before he was old enough to drive. Growing up in an NYC neighbourhood entrenched in gang culture, Lil Tjay found himself facing a year of incarceration. However, upon regaining his freedom, he devoted himself to pursuing his musical aspirations and the recording studio became his saving grace and destiny. 

Since then, Lil Tjay has captivated the rap scene at a young age with his signature swag and blaring bars that have garnered him an audience of millions. His debut album True 2 Myself features platinum-certified hits “F.N.,” “Brothers”, “Leaked”, “Hold On”, “Ruthless”, “One Take” and “GOAT.” His collab release “Calling My Phone” featuring 6LACK debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Lil Tjay’s highest chart debut and career chart peak. Across all releases, Lil Tjay has accumulated over 9.3 billion global streams and was featured as one of XXL’s Freshman Class 2020 and Billboard’s 21 Under 21. 

Most recently, Lil Tjay unveiled the vulnerable, tell-all single “June 22nd”. With a blend of melodic prowess, a New York sound and captivating storytelling, the rapper foreshadows his experience and trauma on the days leading up to him being shot on “June 22nd”. The track is lifted from Lil Tjay’s recently released album 222. This project showcases Lil Tjay’s growth and evolution as an artist and is the first body of work since his 2021 platinum-certified release of Destined 2 Win.  

Don’t miss Lil Tjay’s first time performing in New Zealand this October.

REX ORANGE COUNTY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT: GRENTPEREZ

Secret Sounds is thrilled to announce that burgeoning global superstar grentperez will be joining Rex Orange County on his anticipated New Zealand tour this September. The Sydney-born Filipino singer, songwriter, producer and visual artist will join Rex on all Aotearoa dates, gracing stages in Wellington and Auckland.

Carving out a unique space for himself, grentperez’ music is exuberant and soulful. Its wide-ranging mixture of bedroom R&B and dream-soft indie not only soothes but re-energises those that may be feeling a little weary with the state of the world. His sound is as breezy as late summer afternoons with your best friends, speckled with sunlight and dusky with nostalgia.

grentperez began uploading cover songs to YouTube in his late teens and his audience grew rapidly to 600,000 subscribers and over 100 million views. As he became comfortable with writing, he started playing around with GarageBand, recording and self-releasing songs on Spotify. This led to the ‘Confusing Girl’, a delightfully hazy indie track that was the genesis of his colourful sonic universe. More songs followed, including his official debut single ‘Cherry Wine’, which hit #1 on Spotify’s Viral Chart in Australia, Canada and Singapore.

grentperez released two EPs in 2022, Conversations with the Moon and Trail Mix Tape, helping him to accrue over 250 million lifetime streams, music videos (some hand-drawn by the artist himself) and a hugely dedicated fanbase that helped his recent single ‘Old With You’ reach 1.5 million streams within just three weeks of its release.

grentperez released his latest EP When Were Younger in June 2023, the project is focused on growing older and lost youth. He recently completed his first headline tour of Australia and has dates planned at festivals, throughout Europe and an upcoming sold-out North American headline tour. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch the DIY darling when he supports Rex Orange County later this year!

CYCLORAMA RETURNS TO ARROWTOWN THIS LABOUR WEEKEND

After a stellar debut in 2022, NZ’s first e-bike festival, Cyclorama returns to Arrowtown October 21st and 22nd 2023 featuring eight exciting rides for e-bikers of all interests and abilities.
 
The Festival's debut saw 300 riders enjoy six different curated rides around the majestic region. With overwhelming positive feedback from attendees, the event returns this year with three new rides alongside first year favourites such as Tour de Gourmet, Hop Trail, Pedaling Pinot and Ride to the Sky.
 
“We were thrilled by the response to our debut festival,” says festival director, Dave Gibson. “We are excited to increase our programme in 2023 with three new rides as well as bring back the return of our most popular rides. With a great range of rides across different interests and for a range of abilities, we look forward to welcoming riders to Arrowtown this October”
 
Alongside the rides, the popular festival village located on Butler's Green in Arrowtown will also return. The Festival Village will host a wide range of retailers showcasing the latest in e-bike technology, gear and accessories. Food and coffee trucks will be serving across the day, and from early afternoon through to evening there will be live music and drinks.
 
Bookings for all rides are open now via the website www.cyclorama.co.nz and for those traveling from out of town, links to local e-bike rentals can also be found on the website.
 
2023 PROGRAMME
 
RIDE TO THE SKY

Tickle the turbo button for stunning views
 
Last year local e-MTB guide, Shay Muddle, took riders up Mt Rosa.  This year he’s taking the ride to new and different heights – Arrowtown’s Crown Peak.

You’ll ride from the Festival Village in Arrowtown up Tobin’s Track before you reach Glencoe Station and begin the main part of the breathtaking ride up the hill to Crown Peak.  At the top you’ll be rewarded with amazing views back to Queenstown and across to Wanaka and beyond. 

This ride requires reasonable MTB experience – it will give you a chance to challenge yourself and take your riding to the next level. Ride to the Sky is considered grade 3+ with decent climbs (1426 metres) and epic descents.
 
CORONET CAPER
 
Hosted on hard core trails by hard core e-MTB fiends for hard core riders
Let local e-MTB riders show you what a lot of locals already know – there is a lot of adventure to be had if you know where to look.  

So if the names ‘Rude Rock’, ‘Zoot & Groot’, ‘Upper Hotrod’, ‘Dan O’Connells’, ‘Pack Track n Sack’, ‘Skippers’ and the ‘Water Race’ conjure up a sense of excitement and anticipation for the adrenaline junkie, then this is the ride for you.

In small groups to maximize your ride time, get to grips with the jewels of Queenstown’s mountain bike trails, with ‘Ride Guide’ Finn O’Conner and ‘T-man’ Tony Moore. Taking into account weather and trail conditions, Finn and T-man will craft three hours of full-on, tech flow trails from Coronet’s arsenal.  To start, you’ll be shuttled to the base of Coronet Peak keeping your battery fresh for your imminent adventure; your ride back through Bush Creek to the Festival Village in Arrowtown will top off an epic time in the hills.

This experience is mainly grade 4 advanced with a bit of grade 5 sprinkled in for good measure.  The distance is hard to estimate but expect up to 35km with plenty of vertical descent and it’s likely to be 90% flowing, bike specific trail, and 100% stunning scenery. 
 
MEET THE ARTISTS
 
Artists in Action
 
This leisurely e-bike ride introduces you to some of the region’s most amazing sculptors.
Embark on a cultural journey of discovery as you visit the studios and workshops of local well-known contemporary sculptors.  The ride, which explores the trails around Arrowtown, is led by Fiona Garlick, an Arrowtown based bronze sculptor.  She also loves getting on her e-bike so after a look around her studio you’ll continue on your biking adventure with her.

Time in the studios and workshops of Shane Woolridge, Lee van der Geest and Jasmine Clarke will give you an insight into their practices and materials including bronze, stone, metal, bull kelp, willow, wire, bones and driftwood.  Ask questions about materials and processes and have the opportunity to play with slate and wire. 

Meet the Artists includes a light lunch with coffee and cake in Lee van der Geest’s fabulous straw bale home, as well as studio visits to all four sculptors and brief visits to a couple of in-situ sculptures. This is a grade 2 ride.
 
NIGHT RIDER
 
A tour of the night sky
 
As day turns to dusk, jump on your bike and head along the scenic, cruisy, grade 2 Gibbston river trail to your stargazing destination.

Hosted by Brian Boyle, a former professional astrophysicist who was part of the team that discovered the acceleration of the Universe, this special e-bike ride explores the night sky in more ways than one.  
This is not your normal astronomy tour. Out in Gibbston in the middle of a vineyard, Brian has built his own ‘roll-off roof’ observatory to house his collection of telescopes and cameras, used to capture his exceptional images.  Brian connects the telescopes to screens to show the stars and planets above while enthusiastically explaining the intricacies of the night sky.  A photography buff, Brian will help you create your own artistic version of the dark sky.

Brian also brews beer from his own hop plants.  You’ll be able to try his cosmic brew alongside a selection of tapas as you listen to his musings about the night sky.

After this amazing session, switch on the night lights for a different kind of ride back to Arrowtown or we can transport you and your bike to Arrowtown.
 
TOUR DU GOURMET

A progressive degustation experience

This year, we celebrate a new route and some great food from the Queenstown Lakes region.
Cyclorama’s ‘piece de resistance’ – this hallmark ride was very popular with our riders last year.  The Tour de Gourmet is a foodie orientated ride that meanders along the trails outside Arrowtown.  Soak up the stunning scenery while enjoying some of the best food that the region serves up.

The grade 2 ride includes delicious, locally inspired menus with appropriate beverage matches at each stop. Please advise vegetarian & vegan dietary requirements at the time of booking. 
 
PEDALING PINOT

Meet the Wild Irishmen

Hosted by the godfather of Pinot Noir in Central Otago, Alan Brady, this ultra scenic ride from Arrowtown through to the world famous Gibbston, ‘Valley of the Vines’, to experience the ultimate Pinot wine tasting is not to be missed. 

Follow the grade 2 Arrow River Bridges and Kawarau River trails heading to the celebrated Gibbston wine region, taking in splendid sights en route to Kinross Cellar Door and Bistro. 

At Kinross meet Alan, who, in his 80s and not ready to retire, just can’t stop making great wine!  Having founded Gibbston Valley Winery in 1983, then Mt Edward Winery, he has now been joined by another (younger!) Irishman, Brian Shaw, in Wild Irishman.  Wild Irishman now boasts six single vineyard pinots from sites in Gibbston, Bannockburn and Alexandra, bringing to fruition their catchphrase “a journey down the rivers of Kawarau and Clutha”. 

Your journey with Alan and Brian will involve tastings from those six vineyards with a discussion of terroir, climate and the concept of ‘hands off’ winemaking.  There’ll also be time for musings and questions.  After the tasting in the fabulous new, purpose-built Brady room, Alan and Brian will join you in the Kinross Wine Garden for a delicious lunch with an accompanying glass of wine.
 
THE HOP TRAIL

Brew up an adventure

Traversing land that is not usually open to the public and culminating in a dedicated beer tasting at one of the Queenstown Lakes’ most celebrated breweries, Altitude Brewery, this grade 3+ ride is for those with a love of adventure and liquid gold!

After a good climb up an exclusive farm track with staggering views from the top, head down to Altitude Brewery for a session amongst the vats and paraphernalia that is all about brewing.  Hosted by the brewery team, you’ll be let into a few secrets of beer production as you taste some of their favourite beers including their established classics like Mischievous Kea IPA and Sled Dog Hazy, plus a selection of more recent brews like Zen Shiro Sake Pilsner.

After a fortifying pizza lunch with a beer of your choice, ride back to Arrowtown via the Twin Rivers trail or we’ll pick you up and shuttle you back to the Festival Village.
 
AWAKE WITH THE BIRDS

Be first on the tracks

A ride so lovely it’s unchanged from 2022. Enjoy a leisurely morning e-bike ride around Lake Hayes, pedaling your way to wetlands and the lake shore to check out local birdlife.

October is a great month for bird watching as spring is in full swing, and you’ll be guided  by zoologist and experienced nature guide, Petrina Duncan. Keep a look out for crested grebes, black shag, New Zealand scaup, white-faced herons, black swans, kingfishers, waterfowl and coot.  

The grade 2 ride includes coffee and pastries back in the Festival Village at a table reserved just for you.  Relax after your ride and discuss what you’ve seen.  Binoculars are supplied or bring your own.

Complex praised the album in their ‘Best of 2022 So Far’ list, calling it “sobering, uplifting, fun, and honest all at the same time, making for a great addition to his expanding catalog.” He followed suit with the release of his single THREAT, which was heralded by The New York Times as “a tender take on self-doubt.”

BLUE MAX MUSIC AND TEG LIVE PRESENTS 'HILLTOP HOODS' NZ TOUR 2023 WITH SPECIAL GUEST FREDDY REYNOLD

Australian hip-hop group HILLTOP HOODS have today announced dates for their 2023 New Zealand Tour, which will see the band play headline shows across Aotearoa this coming September.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10AM on FRIDAY JUNE 16 from Ticketek NZ and hilltophoods.com, with a 48 hour artist, Ticketek NZ and TEG Live pre-sale occurring on at 10AM on WEDNESDAY JUNE 14.

Fresh from their sold-out ‘SHOW BUSINESS’ Australian arena tour in late 2022, along with their biggest ever UK/Europe tour set to take place this June-July, the ‘HILLTOP HOODS NZ 2023 TOUR’ will be the first time Kiwi audiences experience the trio’s blistering high energy performances in four years.

On their last visit HILLTOP HOODS supported Eminem on his NZ Rapture Tour, performing to a record breaking crowd of over 46,000. The band quickly followed this up with a run of sold-out shows on the NZ leg of their 2019 ‘THE GREAT EXPANSE WORLD TOUR’ which saw HILLTOP HOODS play across 14 different countries, performing to over 100,000 fans.

With no plans on slowing down, the ‘HILLTOP HOODS NZ 2023 TOUR’ will showcase new songs from the group’s upcoming album. Fans can look forward to experiencing explosive performances of a brand new single, teased just last week, along with classic hits such as ‘Leave Me Lonely’, ‘Exit Sign’, feat Illy & Ecca Vandal, ‘The Nosebleed Section’, ‘Cosby Sweater’, ‘Chase That Feeling’, and ‘Show Business’ feat. Eamon.

HILLTOP HOODS will be joined by special guest and Tāmaki Makauraru based rapper Freddy Reynold, who represents the versatility of Aotearoa and the Southside culture that raised him. Freddy comes armed to perform his freshest drop, ‘Silver Green and Gold’.

Ahead of their long awaited New Zealand tour, the band will have performed their new single to fans in UK/Europe for the first time, across 11 headline shows. Also appearing at Switzerland’s prestigious hip-hop festival Open Air Frauenfeld, plus Cologne’s Summer Jam, Hilltop Hoods will cement their status as festival favourites coming home to headline Australia’s much loved Splendour in the Grass & Spin Off Festival in July 2023.

The legacy of HILLTOP HOODS is undeniable. Their career speaks for itself with ten ARIA awards, six #1 albums, sold out arena tours, over 60 platinum accreditations and the achievement of being the #1 most streamed Australian artist on Spotify for two years running.
 
Proudly presented by Blue Max Music and TEG Live, the ‘HILLTOP HOODS NZ 2023 TOUR’ will stop in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch this September, complete with a sold-out festival appearance at Snow Machine in Queenstown.

ELEMENTAL NIGHTS 2023 SECOND & FINAL LINE UP ANNOUNCEMENT - FAZERDAZE, KIRIN J CALLINAN AND THERE'S A TUESDAY ADDED TO WORLD-CLASS WINTER CONCERT SERIES

Live Nation in association with Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, is thrilled to announce the second line-up for Elemental Nights 2023 as part of Elemental AKL.
 
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fazerdaze (NZ); Australian singer, songwriter and guitarist Kirin J Callinan (AU) and four piece indie dream-pop band There’s A Tuesday (NZ) will join the Elemental Nights line-up in August. All three shows will be taking place in an exciting, exclusive venue new to Elemental Nights - the Mount Albert War Memorial Hall.
 
Tāmaki Makaurau’s most iconic venues transform into temporary works of art, with the midwinter concert series bringing a line-up of local and international world class artists to Auckland. Elemental Nights has previously transformed Auckland's hidden gems into live music venues, including Hopetoun Alpha, St Matthews in the City and the Titirangi War Memorial Hall. Rarely used for live shows, the Mount Albert War Memorial Hall is a beautiful modernist building and will join these special venues in a rare opportunity to witness the stunning space as a live music venue.
 
These new shows are the final addition to the already announced line-up of UK rock band IDLES, Mercury Prize nominated rapper Loyle Carner, Swedish pop superstar Tove Lo, and Aotearoa’s own Bic Runga presenting the 20th anniversary of her album ‘Beautiful Collision’. Joining the already announced line-up are Georgia Lines (NZ) with Bic Runga, and MAY-A (AU) joining Tove Lo at their Elemental Nights shows.
 
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 12pm Friday, June 2 through elementalnights.com & livenation.co.nz
 
Ahead of her Europe and UK tour, songwriter and producer Fazerdaze will bring a very special solo show to the beautiful venue on Thursday August 3, followed by Australian Kirin J Callinan on Friday August 4 as part of his New Zealand tour, presenting his new album ‘If I Could Sing’. In an all ages show, There’s A Tuesday will take the Mount Albert War Memorial Hall stage on Saturday, August 5 along with Molly Payton (solo) and Heidi Simpson.
 
Fazerdaze (AKA Amelia Murray) has returned to the music scene after a 5-year hiatus between her last project ‘Morningside’. Returning with ‘Break!’, the EP marks the beginning of a new era for the multi-talented creative: it’s a grungier, angrier version of the artist who burst onto the scene in 2017 with a catchy dream-pop sound. She returns better than ever after an inward journey of self-reflection and reconnection to herself after a whirlwind of pandemic anxiety and health issues. She’s caught the attention of music industry big leagues including Pitchfork and MOJO, and performed across the world, including opening for Haim, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and The XX.
 
Provocative Australian Kirin J Callinan’s most recent single “ANÆMIC ADONIS (you made me a promise)” came with an AI-assisted music video. A founding member of Mercy Arms, Callinan is known for his confrontational live shows and varied musical styles, once described as darting from evocative electro-pop to arty, experimental rock and everything in between. He joins Elemental Night as part of his New Zealand tour to promote his new upcoming album ‘If I Could Sing’, out Friday June 23.
 
Indie folk band There’s A Tuesday have been on a steady rise since taking out the nationwide title in the Smokefree Rockquest in 2019, proving their musical abilities on a massive scale. Tipped as ones to watch, the four-piece band released their debut EP ‘Dance With Me Before We Cry’ in 2020, before embarking on a national headline tour around the country. Signed by fellow Laneway alum BENEE on her Olive Records label, the were nominated for the 2022 APRA Silver Scroll Award for their tune “Girl at Night”, lifted from their recent EP ‘Boy Scout’. They’re joined by Molly Payton (solo) and Heidi Simpson in this all ages show.
 
Designed, produced and promoted by Live Nation, these unique and spectacular nights should not be missed.
 
Live Nation New Zealand’s Head Promoter Renée Hermsen says, “Thanks to the support from Tātaki Unlimited we are bringing Elemental Nights back for the fourth time, and we couldn’t be more excited. This is our biggest line up yet, with a slate of international and domestic super stars you only get a chance to see this winter, here in Tāmaki Makaurau.”
 
Elemental AKL festival is back this July with a captivating programme of free and ticketed events, celebrating the culture, cuisine and creativity of Auckland.  From this July, Elemental AKL events will transform eateries and bars, theatres and public spaces across Auckland into hubs of exciting experiences. From high-end ticketed experiences to free events, the line-up features enlightening, surprising, thought-provoking, nourishing, and unique experiences to feast your eyes, feed your mind and fill your heart. Elemental AKL is delivered by Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.
 
Elemental Nights full line-up features; IDLES (UK), Tove Lo (SE), Bic Runga celebrating 20 years of ‘Beautiful Collision’ (NZ) and Loyle Carner (UK), Fazerdaze (NZ), Kirin J Callinan (AU) and There’s A Tuesday (NZ).
 
Bic Runga will be joined by special guest Georgia Lines (NZ), MAY-A (AU) will join Tove Lo, and There’s A Tuesday will be joined by both Molly Payton and Heidi Simpson in their all ages show.

My favourite thing in the world is being on tour. Performing my songs for my fans and sharing those incredible moments together are the reason why I write music in the first place. This is going to be my best tour yet and I cannot wait to see all you “lovers” in 2024.”
 
A deeply felt meditation on everything from mental health to the infinite complexity and uncertainty of love, The Show is an endlessly spellbinding statement on following your heart to its absolute truth. As he gears up to share his most personal material yet in a truly extraordinary career, Niall is particularly eager to return to the stage.
 
“There’s nothing better than watching the crowd sing back to you with all that emotion on their faces and knowing that they’re attaching the song to something meaningful in their own lives,” says Niall Horan. “To me, that’s always the greatest thing that can ever come from songwriting.”
 
TEG CEO Geoff Jones says, “TEG is delighted to be bringing Niall Horan out to New Zealand in 2024. We know his fans have been waiting since 2018 for these shows, and we're thrilled that it's finally coming to life. Niall is a masterclass entertainer with incredible stage presence, so there’s no doubt this tour will include many magic moments for fans.”

THE WAR ON DRUGS ANNOUNCE FIRST NEW ZEALAND TOUR SINCE 2018 WITH SPECIAL GUESTS SPOON + INDIGO SPARKE

Live Nation is thrilled to announce the return of The War On Drugs to New Zealand for the first time since 2018. With special guests Spoon, plus Indigo Sparke, the band will tour the North Island in December 2023 in support of I Don’t Live Here Anymore, praised by GQ as “the band’s clearest, most vibrant, and upbeat.”
 
Presented in partnership with Radio Hauraki and 95bFM, tickets for all shows go on sale at 1pm NZT from livenation.co.nz with the Live Nation members presale beginning at 12pm, Thursday May 25 until 12pm, Friday.
 
Throughout the tour, The War On Drugs will play two of New Zealand’s finest venues, including Wellington’s Anderson Park, and Auckland’s Spark Arena.
 
Led by Adam Granduciel, the GRAMMY-Award winning band has steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present. The New Yorker called them “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade” in support of 2017’s A Deeper Understanding while Stereogum hailed The War On Drugs as “one of the greatest American bands of their generation” following the release of I Don’t Live Here Anymore. It landed on numerous 2021 best albums of the year lists and garnered a second GRAMMY Award nomination (Best Rock Song) and BRIT Award nomination.
 
Throughout their career, The War On Drugs has steadily evolved into one of rock’s most compelling live acts. “It’s hard to imagine a musical experience that’s more enveloping and uplifting” (Consequence).  
 
Joining The War On Drugs for the tour will be one of rock's most acclaimed acts, Spoon. Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors have released ten albums to date, including a string of five straight top 10 records: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007), Transference (2010), They Want My Soul (2014), Hot Thoughts (2017), and Lucifer on the Sofa (2022). Hailed by TIME as “one of the greatest American rock bands”, Spoon topped Metacritic’s chart as the single most critically acclaimed band of the aughts.
 
Last here in 2017, Spoon will tour both countries for the first time since the release of their Grammy nominated tenth album ‘Lucifer On The Sofa’. More than two decades into their career, Spoon returned with this loud, low-down, melodious rock record which The Guardian called ‘Timeless Perfection’ and Rolling Stone said, ‘Might Be Spoon’s Best Record Ever’.
 
Opening for all shows will be Australian singer songwriter Indigo Sparke.
