CLUTCH New Zealand 2026 Tour
US hard rock heavyweights Clutch return to New Zealand in early 2027 for their first headline show since 2010, joined by special guests Corrosion Of Conformity.
For more than thirty years, Clutch have built a sound entirely their own, blending hard rock, blues, stoner rock and classic metal across a constantly evolving catalogue. Renowned for their thunderous live performances and relentless touring, the band have established themselves as one of heavy music’s most respected and enduring acts.
Clutch are also preparing their fourteenth studio album, their first since 2022’s acclaimed Sunrise On Slaughter Beach, adding a new chapter to a career defined by huge grooves, unmistakable riffs and uncompromising live shows.
Joining them on every headline date are Corrosion Of Conformity, returning to New Zealand for the first time since 2020. Since forming in the early 1980s, C.O.C. have helped shape crossover punk, thrash, hardcore, sludge and southern metal through landmark albums including Blind, Deliverance, Wiseblood and America’s Volume Dealer.
Following the release of their eleventh studio album, Good God | Baad Man, Corrosion Of Conformity remain every bit as powerful and uncompromising as ever. Together, Clutch and C.O.C. bring more than six decades of heavy music history to New Zealand for a night of crushing riffs, enormous grooves and world-class songs.
Rounding out this powerhouse lineup are New Zealand stoner-rock pioneers DATURA, whose return to the stage after more than 25 years brings an extra dose of homegrown heavy rock to an already formidable bill.
Known for their crushing riffs, psychedelic grooves and unmistakable '70s-inspired sound, DATURA carved out their place in New Zealand's underground rock scene, earning a devoted following with their raw, fuzz-drenched approach to heavy music. Their inclusion makes this a rare opportunity for Auckland fans to experience three generations of riff-driven rock on one stage.
