John Butler Trio present two NZ concerts this weekend

John Butler Trio
follow up triumphant Australian tour with two special New Zealand concerts this weekend

“The Trio’s musicianship was first class, as ever.
‘Ocean’ was a knockout, with waves of almost unbearable intensity that crested and crashed over into softly picked resolutions. Supreme bluegrass fingerpicking and percussion solos were out in fine form in ‘We Want More’, leaving crowd-pleaser ‘Zebra’ for the encore.” The Sydney Morning Herald reviews the Sydney Opera House shows.

Thursday, 28 February 2019- They’ve just finished a massive 15-date Australian tour including two huge shows at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, and now John Butler Trio are set to bring their latest Australian #1 album Home to New Zealand fans this weekend. The Australian icons will play alongside an all-star kiwi line-up in Nelson on Saturday, and Auckland on Sunday, with limited tickets still available for both concerts.

In a massive indoor show at the Trafalgar Centre on Saturday, John Butler Trio will take the stage mid-afternoon after sets by The Eastern and Trinity Roots and before Fly My Pretties and L.A.B. who are flying high after their the release of their latest album in December.
