Paul Kelly will be playing his biggest shows in New Zealand to date, and his only live shows in 2025... proudly presented by Frontier Touring and Stuff (NZ).

Awarded the Order of Australia in 2017 and with 17 ARIAs and five APRAs, few songwriters find ways to keep that creative fever burning for as long and as brightly as Kelly. 

From live recordings and compilations albums, Christmas standards and originals, variety has long been a key to Kelly’s recording career, which includes albums ranging from bluegrass and country (Smoke and Foggy Highway) to funk and soul (Professor RatbaggyThe Merri Soul Sessions), alongside classic records such as Gossip, and Post. Kelly’s decades of touring have seen him play the kind of shows fans never forget.

In New Zealand, Kelly will be joined by special guest singer/songwriter Reb Fountain. Fountain invokes a blend of folk, art-pop and rock unrivalled in Aotearoa. After standout performances at WOMADelaide and extensively touring in Europe with Marlon Williams, Fountain’s reputation for an exceptional live show has gone global, her new single ‘Come Down’ is out now.

With his incredible live band by his side – including members Peter Luscombe (drums), Bill McDonald (bass), Dan Kelly (guitar), Cameron Bruce (keys), Jess Hitchcock (vocals), and Ash Naylor (guitar) – Paul Kelly live is not to be missed

$2 per hour to a max of $12 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
