Two Door Cinema Club Announce Auckland Headline Show This November 2026

Take a trip back to a defining era of music as indie darlings Two Door Cinema Club perform their iconic debut album Tourist History in full, alongside their greatest hits, in Auckland this November.

Released in 2010, Tourist History launched Two Door Cinema Club onto the global stage with electrifying hits like ‘What You Know’, ‘Something Good Can Work’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’. The album’s catchy guitar hooks, irresistible rhythms and dancefloor beats quickly made it a staple of the indie-dance scene.

In what will no doubt be a very special run of shows, Two Door Cinema Club have invited The Vaccines on tour as their special guests, to perform their breakthrough record What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? for its 15th anniversary. Having burst out of London with their album packed with high-energy classics such as ‘If You Wanna’, ‘Post Break-Up Sex’ and ‘Wetsuit’, its raw, infectious sound helped cement the band as one of the UK’s most exciting guitar acts.

Fifteen years on, Two Door Cinema Club’s Tourist History is lauded as an era-defining album, forming the sound track to late night parties, dancefloors and festivals around the world, while The Vaccines What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? remains a touchstone of 2000s indie-rock. New Zealand fans will have the chance to experience wall-to-wall indie anthems as they perform those albums live, with both bands delivering the beloved tracks that helped define a generation of guitar music.

Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club formed in 2007 and have since released five hugely successful records, as well as sold out shows and headlined festivals across the globe, with fans flocking to hear their unique blend of guitar-driven post-punk hooks paired with electronic, danceable beats. Two Door Cinema Club first gained attention with their 2010 debut album Tourist History containing their break out singles ‘What You Know’, ‘Something Good Can Work’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’, which took them from their garage in Bangor, where they wrote their iconic album, to main stages of festivals around the world.

The band have continued to evolve, peaking at #2 in the UK’s official Albums Chart with 2012’s follow-up album, Beacon, and then with Giorgio Moroder-esque disco and synth pop on 2016’s Gameshow, paving the way for 2019’s new wave-inspired False Alarm and 2022’s Keep On Smiling, which have all landed in the top 10 of the UK charts. Off the back of that, the band embarked on a sold out 30-date amphitheatre tour of the United States in 2024, with the band finishing the year with a sold-out Australian arena tour culminating in an incredible performance at the iconic Sydney Opera house forecourt. Now, Two Door Cinema Club are looking forward to performing Tourist History in full for its 15-year anniversary, including appearances at major festivals and arenas in Portugal, Spain, Ireland, the UK and New York’s Madison Square Garden, before bringing their electric show our shores.

On returning to New Zealand and Australia, Two Door Cinema Club said “We have some incredible memories of time spent in Oz and NZ and we can’t wait to get back for some really big shows. I don’t know what it is about the southern hemisphere but you guys just know how it’s done.”

With two of indie rock’s most beloved bands sharing the stage, these shows promise a night of nostalgia, sing-along anthems and the unmistakable energy that made these records instant classics.

Praise for Two Door Cinema Club’s ‘Tourist History’

“A record that shimmered with glossy pop polish whilst also cracking a frenetic
pace with its driving punk rock urgency. Earworms like 'What You Know',
'Undercover Martyn' and 'I Can Talk' propelled them onto radio playlists and the
worldwide touring circuit… ensuring the band's impact and influence on the
sound and energy of 2010s indie rock.”
– Caz Tran, Double J

“With ‘Tourist History’ they managed to embody that rush of pulling a friend up onto
your shoulders in the middle of a festival crowd, or the carefree joy of teenage roadtrips and late summer evenings.
Unsurprisingly, then, their debut would go on to provide an entire generation with a soundtrack for just that.” – DIY Magazine

“A thrilling reminder of why the Northern Irish indie rock band remains one of the most electrifying live acts today.” – Scenestr
