ARIA-winning singer-songwriter, musician, and producer Chet Faker has officially announced his highly anticipated return to New Zealand. As part of his extensive A Love For Strangers World Tour, the acclaimed electronic-soul artist will perform an exclusive, one-night-only headline show at the historic Auckland Town Hall on Saturday, September 12th.
The major touring announcement lands on the heels of his latest studio album, A Love For Strangers, which dropped earlier this year. The 12-track record sees mastermind Nick Murphy come full circle, reviving the restless exploration and creative curiosity that originally defined his earliest work. Spanning themes of heartbreak, modern connection, and uncertainty, the album serves as an introspective follow-up to 2021’s Hotel Surrender, arriving after a period of deep personal rediscovery sparked by the 10th anniversary of his platinum-selling debut, Built On Glass.
Known for global hits like his breakout cover of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and high-profile collaborations with Flume and Marcus Marr, Chet Faker has built a formidable reputation as a world-class live act. The upcoming September show offers New Zealand fans a rare opportunity to experience his hypnotic production and distinct, soulful vocals within the uniquely intimate and historic acoustic setting of Auckland’s Town Hall.
Tickets for the exclusive event will become available through a series of early-access windows ahead of the weekend. The Artist presale, Live Nation member presale, and a special Mastercard presale for eligible Westpac New Zealand customers will all launch simultaneously on Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 AM local time.
General public tickets will officially go on sale beginning Friday, June 5th at 12:00 PM local time. Complete tour routing details, presale registration, and general ticket purchases can be accessed directly through livenation.co.nz.
