Macy Gray Announces 2026 NZ Tour

Following her sensational performance at Raggamuffin in Auckland in 2016, the incredible Macy Gray returns to New Zealand for the first time in 10 years.

Macy Gray – Macy Gray Live tour – sees Gray perform in Wellington on October 15 (presented in association with the Wellington Jazz Festival), Hamilton on October 16, Auckland on October 17 and Christchurch on October 21.

Gray will also perform at the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival in Napier on October 18 and at the Tauranga Arts Festival on October 22.

Before reaching our shores for the six NZ dates, Gray returns to Australia for her largest ever tour of the continent this September/October, including a number of regional dates.

This is not just a concert tour, it’s a festival of soul.

With more than 25 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award, two BRIT Awards, and 10 studio albums spanning more than two decades, Macy Gray is one of the greatest R&B and soul artists of her generation and Australia and New Zealand loved her first!

I Try went straight to number one here and in Australia, while On How Life Is topped the Australian charts and spent 44 weeks on the New Zealand Albums Chart a long time before America fully caught on.

Nobody puts on a show like Macy Gray, she parties like it’s 1999 and this tour will be proof. Expect a jaw-dropping celebration of her chart-topping hits including I Try, Still, Do Something, Sexual Revolution, Sweet Baby, and so much more, plus her new single, the classic ‘I’m Too Sexy’ from the upcoming album The Trouble With The Truth.

New Zealand and Australia made Macy Gray a star. Now she’s coming back to remind you why. Photos, bio information and artwork can be downloaded HERE

Macy said, “New Zealand! The band and I have always had a ball in “NZ” and we can’t wait to see you all again!  This time, I’m heading to places I’ve never been before and will get to see much more of your beautiful country.

“We’re going to be performing all the songs you want to hear, plus a few from my new album – The Trouble With The Truth. New Zealand and Australia will be the first audiences to hear tracks from the new album live so get your dancing shoes ready and come along and party with us at a show near you!”
