- Afterpay available
- Tauranga show is R18

After tearing up stages across NZ & Australia this past summer, the incredible combination of L.A.B and Stan Walker will again join for 3 memorable outdoor shows this summer - including a return to L.A.B & Stan Walker’s home of the Bay of Plenty; a one-off Australian show on the Gold Coast; and L.A.B’s first Auckland show in over 4 years.

These three outdoor shows will be the perfect summer day out, with a collection of acts who represent Aotearoa summertime all in one place. As a special treat, each show will see a different artist added to the line-up, giving each city a unique line-up not seen anywhere else.

Tauranga will see Corrella on the line-up, bringing with them their high-energy brand of reggae/soul to their home town!

These shows will be L.A.B’s first headline shows since winning the Te Manu Mātārae Award at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, an award acknowledging an artist's impact on the music landscape. Their most recent album L.A.B VI included the hits ‘Take It Away’ and ‘Casanova’, and 2025 has seen them already touring across the globe. This will be their only headline shows in NZ and Australia this coming summer, so expect three massive days out. 

Stan Walker is an artist who continues to go from strength to strength. Taking home the Best Māori Artist and Mana Reo awards at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, Stan’s captivating live show sees him combine with his longtime band, The Levites, creating a powerful experience with every performance. Fresh off of multiple visits to the United States through 2025, and with new music on the way, Stan will bring his ever-expanding catalogue of hits to the stage at these shows.

All three shows will see L.A.B and Stan Walker joined by Aaradhna and Te Wehi. One of the most stunning voices in Aotearoa, Aaradhna announced her return with her acclaimed 2024 album SWEET SURRENDER. The album saw her take home Best Soul/RnB Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards, with select live performances over the past 12 months reminding audiences why she is a true legend of the scene.

Each show will be opened up by the fast-rising Te Wehi. The Bay Of Plenty native has quickly become one of the most sought-after artists in the country, already boasting three #1’s on the Aotearoa Hot Singles Chart. His unique blend of country-tinged reggae will be the perfect stage setter for a massive day of live music.

These three shows see a line-up of the finest Māori/Pasifika artists in Aotearoa combine for a series of summer shows that aren’t to be missed. Be sure to secure tickets for L.A.B’s NZ summer tour.
