Celebrated artist TEEKS has been announced as the headliner for the public opening night of a new theatre in New Zealand.
For one night only on Friday, January 23rd, 2026, he’ll present his debut Kirikiriroa/Hamilton performance including new music and stunning visuals, at the new Waikato Regional Theatre as it prepares to open its doors to the public.
With his latest single “Red Light” out now and a new album nearing completion, a performance by TEEKS is nothing short of a spiritual experience.
TEEKS made his entrance with the 2017 debut EP The Grapefruit Skies. The now Platinum-certified EP was met with critical acclaim in New Zealand, setting the young artist up for a global career. Later that year he took home his first Aotearoa Music Award and attracted nominations for the prestigious APRA AMCOS Silver Scrolls Award and the Taite Music prize.
In 2021, TEEKS released his Platinum-certified album Something To Feel which debuted at No. 1 on the NZ Chart. The album features Platinum single “Remember Me”, and Gold-sellers “First Time” and “Without You”.
The album led him to three more Aotearoa Music Awards and Best NZ Act at the MTV EMAs. TEEKS was also crowned the Best New Artist at the inaugural Rolling Stone NZ Awards in 2022. This moment was followed by a phenomenal sold-out nationwide album tour, which solidified TEEKS as one of the nation’s greats.
