One of the biggest legends in New Zealand music history today announces a one-off summer show at the Coroglen Tavern on Sunday 3 January. Sir Dave Dobbyn celebrates his 70th birthday on this same day, and invites summer revellers to celebrate with him. Fresh off performing at Rhythm & Vines, Sir Dave will be making his way back up the country to play the milestone birthday show.
For the good people of the Coromandel there's nowhere I'd rather be on my 70th birthday. Sir Dave says.
Helping him blow out the candles and joining the birthday line-up in support is Christchurch-based indie rock singer-songwriter Mim Jensen alongside rising alt-rock singer-songwriter Sam Cullen & His Band, hailing from Southland.
2026 has been a year that may exhaust performers half his age, but not Sir Dave. This year alone, he's sold out two nights at Hamilton's BNZ Theatre, followed with a perfect one-night-only Selected Songs show at The Civic, and will close it out with a festival slot at Rhythm & Vines - and he's not slowing down, welcoming in 2027 with a birthday bash.
