L.A.B and Stan Walker will team up for a run of outdoor shows this summer, following their New Zealand and Australia dates back in January.
The shows will see the pair return to their roots in the Bay of Plenty, play a special Gold Coast date, and perform L.A.B’s first Auckland headline gig in more than four years.
Presented by Loop, the series kicks off on Saturday, December 27th, 2025, at Wharepai Domain in Tauranga. It continues on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, at Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast, before wrapping up on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, at Auckland’s Trusts Arena Outer Fields.
L.A.B and Stan Walker will be joined at all shows by Aotearoa R&B favourite Aaradhna, fresh from her long-awaited Sweet Surrender album, which Rolling Stone AU/NZ described as being “an exquisite release and freedom.”
Bay of Plenty artist Te Wehi will also join the lineup.
Each date will also feature a different special guest. Tauranga gets reggae/soul outfit Corrella, the Gold Coast will see Tiki Taane’s solo set, and Auckland will welcome back Nesian Mystik for their first Tāmaki Makaurau show in over 15 years.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, July 31st at 12pm via loop.co.nz, sign up for pre-sale access here.
