UTR and Meow Touring presents:
A Place To Bury Strangers Announce 2026 NZ Tour
With Support from: Grecco Romank
A Place To Bury Strangers return to Aotearoa with their explosive new album Synthesizer — a record built on chaos, colour, and pure DIY spirit. Synthesizer isn’t just the title of their seventh album; it’s also a custom-built instrument created specifically for it. “It’s pretty messed up, chaotic… but it feels really human,” says frontman Oliver Ackermann. The album celebrates spontaneity, collaboration, and the kind of raw noise that can only come from a band locked in together.
Written in the band’s Queens studio after a refreshed lineup — Ackermann with John and Sandra Fedowitz — Synthesizer cracks open and reimagines the signature APTBS sound in vivid new ways. It’s romantic, raw, unsteady, and built for the stage, where the band’s legendary walls of sound hit with full force.
A Place To Bury Strangers’ two-date NZ tour kicks off in Pōneke on Wed 11 Feb at Meow, wrapping Thu 12 Feb in Tāmaki Makaurau at Double Whammy.
