Ocean Alley are stoked to announce their return to New Zealand for a run of 4 headline shows, their first headline shows in NZ since 2019.
Australian legends Hockey Dad will be along for the ride, supporting on all shows.
Touring in celebration of their 2020 album Lonely Diamond which debuted at #6 on the NZ Top 40 Album Chart, Ocean Alley will play their biggest headline run of New Zealand, featuring the most elaborate production Kiwi fans have seen.
It’s been a couple years since our last headline shows in New Zealand and so we’re super exited to be heading back across the ditch to play some huge shows in both the North and South Island. We are stoked to tour a new show with songs from all of our records as well as a new light show and live experience and we hope you can join us at some of New Zealand’s best live music venues.” – Mitch Galbraith, Ocean Alley
Lonely Diamond garnered four-star reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone and NME. It follows the success of 2018’s breakthrough Chiaroscuro which saw the six-piece propelled into international prominence with their NZ platinum-certified single ‘Confidence’ that took out #1 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2018.
Joining Ocean Alley on all dates are Australian garage rock royalty Hockey Dad. Growing up as best friends on the NSW South Coast, the duo made up of Zach Stephenson and Billy Fleming have carved a name for themselves on both sides of the Tasman thanks to their high-risk party jams. Their most recent album Brain Candy (2020) debuted at #2 on the ARIA Chart and saw the boys take their high energy show on the road for a colossal 22-date tour of Australia. New Zealand audiences can expect a spirited set from Windang’s finest sons.
