Stan Walker Joins Forces with L.A.B for an Exciting Summer Tour

L.A.B and Stan Walker are set to collaborate for a series of outdoor concerts this summer, following their successful shows in New Zealand and Australia earlier this year.

The upcoming performances will feature the duo returning to their roots in the Bay of Plenty. They will also have a special date on the Gold Coast and will host L.A.B’s first Auckland headline show in over four years.

Presented by Loop, this concert series kicks off on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Wharepai Domain in Tauranga. The tour continues on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast, concluding on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Auckland’s Trusts Arena Outer Fields.

Joining the lineup is Bay of Plenty artist Te Wehi, adding to the excitement of the event.

Each concert will feature a unique special guest. Attendees in Tauranga can look forward to the reggae/soul group Corella, while the Gold Coast will showcase Tiki Taane’s solo performance. Auckland will witness the return of Nesian Mystik for their first show in Tāmaki Makaurau in over 15 years.

Tickets will be available for purchase starting Thursday, July 31, at 12 PM through loop.co.nz. Make sure to sign up for pre-sale access!

This tour marks L.A.B’s first headline series since they received the Te Manu Mātārae Award at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. Stan Walker also earned recognition that night, securing the titles of Best Māori Artist and Mana Reo.
