Muroki Announces Spring New Zealand Tour Dates

Riding a tidal wave of successful releases via Benee's imprint Olive, Raglan songwriting star Muroki is expanding his horizons with a ripper of an Australasian tour. Happening this spring following the launch of his new Heading East EP on 16th September, Muroki's Aotearoa shows include a new headline date at Pōneke's San Fran, picking up the ball from his previously announced May event at the windy city venue — which was necessarily postponed at the time due to pandemic-related reasons (there's been a bit of that going around). Don't miss Muroki at the dates below, plus take in the sparkling live clip for new single 'Introducing' from the forthcoming EP, starring the artist with band at Tāmaki's Roundhead Studios. Note: all existing tickets for Muroki's previously postponed Wellington headline event at San Fran are valid for the new date, ticket holders have been emailed direct with details...

"I'm super excited to be touring through New Zealand and Australia to share all my new music with you!" — Muroki.

Press release:

After releasing his new single ‘Introducing’, 21 year old New Zealand artist Muroki is excited to share the announcement of his upcoming EP Heading East, coming on September 16 via Olive Records / Universal Music and accompanied by an Australian and New Zealand tour.

In Australia, Muroki’s Heading East tour takes him to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as the Wanderer Festival in Sapphire Coast, NSW and Promiseland on the Gold Coast, QLD.

The EP tour then heads back to New Zealand for headline shows including a rescheduled date at the San Fran in Wellington after covid caused the cancellation of his July date. He also appears at the Longline Classic festival in Gisborne.

Heading East is Muroki’s second EP release. The six track collection includes the singles Find Me and Introducing, plus four as yet unheard tracks. Stirring the melting pot of Muroki’s musical influences, you can hear indie, pop, reggae and world music on songs like the chilled pop of Simple Pleasures or the heartfelt roots flavours in Found In Nairobi and the EP’s title track.

Releasing a new collection of music and getting back out on the road promises to start Muroki’s summer in a bold way, connecting with his growing fanbase on both sides of the Tasman.
