TĀMAKI MAKAURAU, AUCKLAND (August 6, 2025) – One of the country’s most treasured musical voices, Sir Dave Dobbyn, has today announced five regional tour dates around Aotearoa New Zealand. This news comes off the back of his hugely successful sold-out Auckland Town Hall show for the Live Nation’s Auckland Winter Series.
On Friday October 31st, Sir Dave will be visiting The Opera House in Pōneke, Wellington, before heading to Ahuriri, Napier’s Municipal Theatre on Tuesday November 4th. He’ll then head to Papaioea, Palmerston North at Regent on Broadway on Wednesday November 5th, Ōtepoti, Dunedin’s Town Hall on Friday November 7th, and finishing on Sunday November 9th at Ōtautahi, Christchurch’s James Hay Theatre.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2022, Dobbyn declared it “business as usual” – and continues to inspire with his unmistakable voice and enduring presence on stage.
