Headliners are two New Zealand music icons, Dave Dobbyn & Don McGlashan, performing together, joined by the legendary Supergroove and the Queen of the Winery Tour, Anika Moa.

Now in its 9th year, the Winery Tour has been streamlined. The 2015 Tour will play nine shows in nine wineries around New Zealand between late January and the start of March, with all shows played on a Friday or Saturday or the day immediately prior to a public holiday. It's one of the best line-ups, in the best winery venues, on the best days for enjoying a night out for fans. A full list of dates and venues is set out below.

It’s hard to explain or do justice to the importance and the influence of Dave Dobbyn and Don McGlashan in the canon of New Zealand music and culture, or to describe the esteem in which they are held by all Kiwis. They are supreme songwriters who have chronicled what it is to be a New Zealander. Over more than 30 years they have told the stories of our lives. Between them they have won five prestigious APRA Silver Scroll awards for Song of the Year. They have multiple hit albums between their solo releases, Th’ Dudes, The Front Lawn, DD Smash, Blam Blam Blam and the Mutton Birds. Backed by a crack band, expect this to be one of the most memorable sets in the history of the Winery Tour. And expect the hits – that’s if they can fit them all into a ninety-minute show.

Filling the middle slot are Winery Tour first timers, the legendary Supergroove. Formidable live performers, and featuring the mighty Che Fu, this eager band of young ruffians rewrote NZ music history with their debut album “Traction” – a trillion times platinum and spawning the hits Gotta Know, Scorpio Girls, You Freak Me, Sitting Inside My Head and Can’t Get Enough – and their incendiary live shows. They may not be swinging from the lighting trusses any longer, but Supergroove continues to be, quite simply, a musical force of nature.

Completing the three-artist line up is the official Queen of the Winery Tour Anika Moa. No artist better personifies what this Tour is about than this national treasure. She’s irreverent, relaxed, mostly barefoot, heart-warming and heart wrenching (often at the same time), supremely talented and endlessly entertaining. And she loves coming on the road with this tour. Anika Moa is the musical equivalent of a sneaky extra bottle of a favourite, multi-award winning, cheeky rose.

With nine shows on offer across nine spectacular outdoor venues, The Winery Tour is the best tour in New Zealand. The 2015 Tour will visit the following regions - NORTH ISLAND: Tauranga, Auckland, Matakana, Havelock North, Martinborough, Hamilton & New Plymouth; SOUTH ISLAND: Upper Moutere (Nelson) & Waipara (Christchurch).

One child under the age of 12 will be given free admittance when accompanied by one adult ticket holder.
