Hoodoo Gurus are coming to Aotearoa New Zealand to celebrate a major anniversary.
The iconic Aussie band are hitting the road to mark the 45th anniversary of their formation.
Before touring their home country, Hoodoo Gurus will cross the ditch to play shows in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, and Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in November (see full dates below).
Tickets to their New Zealand shows go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, June 24th at 9am local time. The Plus1 pre-sale begins on Tuesday, June 23rd at 9am local time.
Hoodoo Gurus were regular visitors to New Zealand throughout the ’80s, cementing a strong fanbase on this side of the Tasman in the process.
“We’ve often been described as a ‘singles band’ so for this ‘Rewind’ tour we’re gonna embrace that notion by only playing songs that were released as singles,” Hoodoo Gurus’ Dave Faulkner says. “No b-sides, no album tracks, we’ll just be concentrating on the hits — and quite a few misses as well!
“It’s funny but some of our biggest flops went on to become some of our most beloved songs. ‘Axegrinder’ horrified radio programmers back in the day — ‘We can’t play that!’ seemed to be their collective response — but within 12 months ‘Axegrinder’ had become a fan-favourite, which it remains to this day.

“There are a whole lot of other near-misses that fall into that category. Along with all our bona fide hits, we’re hoping to play every one of our 42 singles at least once somewhere during this tour.”
