Hollie Smith Announces 'Coming In From The Dark' Album Release Tour

Stepping into her third decade as an iconic Aotearoa artist, Hollie Smith is laying the groundwork for a landmark year ahead. Thrilling fans earlier this month with the announcement of her forthcoming first solo album since 2016 Coming In From The Dark (out on 22nd October), spine-tingling lead single 'What About' featuring Raiza Biza, and recent launch of a new te reo version of her classic anthem with Don McGlashan ‘Bathe In the River’ (titled ‘Korukutia’), Smith ramps up excitement even further with today's unveiling of a nationwide release tour — kicking off in late October and happening all throughout November. Those concerned Covid restrictions might potentially get in the way of seeing the multiple Tui award-winning artist live will be stoked to know there are contingency dates held in reserve for later this year. Smith's shows are traditionally hot tickets, we recommend you secure your spot for these special events while you can...
