Boy & Bear Announce Three New Zealand Shows This June

Australian indie-folk favourites Boy & Bear announce their return to Aotearoa, playing three consecutive shows in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland this June. Tickets go on sale Tuesday 7 April, 12pm.

Off the back of their sixth studio album Tripping Over Time, released in December 2025 and an extensive international tour across Canada, the UK and Europe, the band are set to arrive in peak form.

Boy & Bear emerged onto the global stage with their breakthrough debut album Moonfire, which earned multi-platinum success and five ARIA Awards in 2011. Two years later their follow-up, Harlequin Dream debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums charts, and they went on to amass five consecutive Top 10 albums and more than half a billion streams worldwide.

New Zealand last saw the band in 2024, for their Harlequin Dream 10th Anniversary Tour. That milestone celebrated one of their most beloved records, featuring hit single ‘Southern Sun’ that remains a favourite in New Zealand alongside its music video filmed against a scenic backdrop near Queenstown. Now they return to Aotearoa with a catalogue that spans over a decade and a brand new album. Tickets go on sale Tuesday 7 April, 12pm.
