Presented by Coruba, these three massive dates will see L.A.B bring the summer heat to New Plymouth at Bowl of Brooklands on Saturday, January 11, Taupō’s Amphitheatre on Saturday, January 18 and Semenoff Stadium in Whangārei on Saturday, January 25.

Joining them will be very special guests Stan Walker, Corrella, Aaradhna and AJA.

Following the release of their number one album L.A.B VI, and having already sold-out shows in NZ and the United States this year, this will be New Zealand’s only chance to catch L.A.B live this summer. A key summer wouldn’t be complete without L.A.B, and this time they’re bringing an epic line-up with them for each show.

This line-up features a “who’s who” of the current crop of big local artists. Winning between them a total of six Aotearoa Music Awards for 2024, and consistently holding the top spots on the NZ Top 20 Official Singles Chart and the Radioscope Top Airplay charts, these five artists all represent the current wave of success from Māori/Pacific artists in the mainstream.

The line-up of artists playing alongside L.A.B is headlined by the iconic Stan Walker. Already deep into a massive year that has seen him win multiple Aotearoa Music Awards and release some of his finest music yet, Stan Walker is an icon of NZ music who is at his artist peak.

Also joining for all three shows is one of NZ’s fastest-rising acts, Corrella, who are set to release a new album before the end of 2024. On the back of their hit single ‘Blue Eyed Māori’, the band have begun to announce themselves as one of the brightest new stars in NZ-music with their laid-back reggae-inspired sound, perfect for the summertime. After winning two Aotearoa Music Awards, Corrella will be bringing their energetic live performance to these three shows.

A true legend of NZ music, Aaradhna is another artist with new music on the way, which she’ll be bringing to the stage alongside her catalogue of stone-cold classics. Accompanied by her longtime band of killer musicians, this will be her first tour since her sell-out 2023 tour.

Kicking off a massive day of local music will be the Wellington-based soul vocalist AJA. Winner of the 2022 APRA Maioha Award, if you aren’t familiar with AJA, you will be after these shows. After providing guest vocals to tracks on L.A.B’s new album, these shows will see her take to the stage as one of NZ music’s next big things.

These three shows combine an all-Kiwi line-up for an unforgettable series of summer days. Be sure to secure tickets for L.A.B’s NZ summer tour. Presented by Coruba, thanks to Loop, Mai FM, The Edge, Asahi & Long White.
