James Blake New Zealand Show Announced

UK songwriting superstar James Blake is returning to Aotearoa for a special headline event at Auckland's Shed 10 this July, six years following his sold-out show at Auckland Town Hall in 2013. The future-gazing, incomparably-voiced artist's new studio album Assume Form, his fourth, features collabs with such heavy hitters as Travis Scott, Moses Sumney and Andre 3000, and he's made notable recent contributions to such pop cultural touchstones as 2018's Black Panther album and Connan Mockasin's latest record Jassbusters.

Press release:

A voice as recognisable for sonorous quality as it is for frequent reinvention, JAMES BLAKE returns to the Southern Hemisphere on the back of the strongest record of his career in Assume Form.

Nearly six years since his last visit for a sold-out show at Auckland Town Hall, Blake has booked Auckland’s Shed 10 for his only New Zealand show on 17 July, before crossing the ditch for Splendour in the Grass.

Blake has hit his straps musically and personally, allowing his devoted fanbase a glimpse into his innermost thoughts on his deeply intimate fourth record. Still riding the faders, pushing the envelope and questioning the listener with his knack for digital manipulation, it’s the beating heart ensconced within the tracks on Assume Form that will make his only Splendour side-show on this side of the Tasman an unforgettable experience.
