Dry Cleaning (UK) 'Secret Love' New Zealand 2026 Tour Announced

Responsible for one of the finest, most comparison-defying releases of 2026 so far, Dry Cleaning are bringing their Secret Love release tour to Aotearoa New Zealand this June. Brought to you by I OH YOU and MG Live, the South London post-punks have ascended to even loftier heights since they first visited our shores in 2022, collaborating with fellow luminary Cate Le Bon (wearing her producer's hat) on their new 4AD record — about which we gushed, "Secret Love is the work of a group whose adventurous instincts hit the mark with Littler-like precision."

Already announced this morning to be headlining Hollywood Avondale in Tāmaki Makaurau as part of Strange Universe: Winter 2026 (that event presented in partnership with Banished Music and Strange News), Dry Cleaning will also be playing at Meow Nui in Te Whanganui-a-Tara the preceding evening, as part of their forthcoming Australasia tour. Don't dare miss the UK art-rock collective fronted by vocalist Florence Shaw, melting minds at the following dates...

Press release:

UK art-rockers Dry Cleaning today announce their long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand this May and June, bringing their acclaimed live show back for a run of major festival appearances and special headline shows.

One of the hottest and most exciting acts on the scene right now, the tour includes festival stops at Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House on Friday 29 May and RISING: Melbourne at the Forum on Saturday 30 May, alongside headline shows in Ballarat on Sunday 7 June at the Civic Hall, and in New Zealand at Wellington’s Meow Nui on Tuesday 2 June and Auckland’s Hollywood Avondale on Wednesday 3 June.

Presented by I OH YOU and MG Live, this tour will celebrate the release of Dry Cleaning’s critically acclaimed new album Secret Love (out now, available here) and marks their first Australian and New Zealand visit since their sold-out debut tour in 2022, with critics hailing them as “like no other band you’ve seen”.
