Pickle Darling & Ryan Fisherman Announce Spring Tour of Aotearoa

Two of Ōtautahi's most inventive and acclaimed songcrafters unite for one majestic double headline tour this spring. Globally beloved luminary of bedroom pop, Pickle Darling is teaming up with maverick songwriter / multi-instrumentalist / producer Ryan Fisherman for a four date excursion across Aotearoa, each playing solo sets in Tāmaki Makaurau, Pōneke, Whakatū / Nelson and their garden city hometown's Space Academy in October — all brought to you by 100% Good.

Recent collaborator with The Beths covering The Postal Service's 'Brand New Colony' (via Sub Pop), Pickle Darling aka Lukas Mayo hints these will be their last round of live appearances before hunkering down to finish the follow up to 2023's exceptional Laundromat. A catalytic figure in Canterbury's music community, who has contributed his instrumental and production prowess to a variety of projects, Ryan Fisherman's 2023 solo album Country EMO is a rustically textured, rurally minded avant-pop delight, featuring fellow travellers Anita Clark (Motte) and Ben Woods. It will be both artists' first ever solo tours so do head along, plus check out the adorable pixel art poster by Christiane Shortal...

"This will my first ever solo tour, but also my last bunch of shows for a while before I hunker down and focus on finishing my next album (and a soundtrack)... It’ll be a very intimate series of shows and I won’t really be sticking to the same setlist each night. But also this tour is mostly just an excuse for me and Ryan to hang out". - Pickle Darling

"This will be my first ever Ryan Fisherman tour, I've toured with a bunch of other bands over the years, but never with my own material. The fact that I get to share a tour with Pickle Darling is a dream come true!" - Ryan Fisherman
