GRAMMY® nominated US band OneRepublic, headed up by acclaimed singer/songwriter and lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, announce their highly anticipated return to New Zealand for The Sweet Escape Tour in February 2026 with special guest pop superstar Zara Larsson. 

OneRepublic, fronted by Ryan Tedder, have been non-stop for over two decades. Since their 2007 debut, they’ve amassed over 5 billion streams on Spotify alone thanks to hits like “Counting Stars” and “Apologise”, which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide.

A testament to their enduring popularity, OneRepublic are no strangers to partnering with other hit musicians and featuring on the soundtracks of top tier films and series including their 2022 hit “I Ain’t Worried” featured in the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick & last year, they teamed up with David Guetta on “I Don’t Wanna Wait”.

Joining them on ‘The Sweet Escape’ tour is pop star Zara Larsson, who has also been breaking records of her own. Her platinum-certified 2017 full-length So Good is one of the most-streamed debuts on Spotify by a female artist ever.
