Paul Kelly | 2025 New Zealand Tour

Australian music icon Paul Kelly, celebrated for over forty years of influential work, is set to return to Aotearoa in September 2025 for a three-date tour, performing at Auckland Town Hall, Christchurch Town Hall, and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre.

This tour marks the release of his anticipated album, Fever Longing Still - Kelly's twenty-ninth studio album!

Known for his rich storytelling, Kelly describes this latest collection as "love songs, all different kinds of love. There's even a love song to sleep! We aimed to make each song its own world, showcasing the band's full palette of colors." The album officially drops this Friday.

An ARIA Hall of Fame inductee alongside legends like the Bee Gees and honored as an Officer of the Order of Australia, Paul Kelly's legacy is vast, even including the Ian Darling-directed 2012 documentary Paul Kelly - Stories of Me and his own Paul Kelly Lane in Adelaide.

On this Aotearoa tour, he'll be joined by bandmates Peter Luscombe, Bill McDonald, Dan Kelly, Cameron Bruce, Jess Hitchcock, and Ash Naylor. Opening each show is New Zealand's own Reb Fountain, fresh off her upcoming album How Love Bends, set for release in March.

Don't miss these exclusive Aotearoa shows! Tickets for the general public go live today at 3pm, presented by Frontier Touring and Stuff.
