The Blindboy Podcast Live 2027 Auckland Show Announced

The Irish podcasting superstar instantly recognisable by his DIY shopping bag mask (I wonder how many he goes through), Blindboy Boatclub will be back in Aotearoa New Zealand to host a very special live edition of The Blindboy Podcast, at Auckland Town Hall in early April 2027. Reaching a massive audience worldwide ("exceeding 60 million global listeners"), the Limerick-born conversationalist has shared his award-winning podcast mic with such major figures as Spike Lee, Charlotte Church, Paddy Considine, Hozier and Graham Norton.

One half of comedy hip-hop duo The Rubberbandits, and a recent guest presenter on NTS Radio, the polymathic podcaster's multi-faceted artistic aspects also include "writer... musician, documentary maker, raconteur." Do not expect tickets to be available for long, nab yours before they vanish...

Press release:

The Blindboy Podcast Live will make its return to New Zealand in April 2027. This follows a sold out tour in 2025, with passionate fans and full houses right across New Zealand and Australia.

Described as a "cultural phenomenon" by The New York Times; The Blindboy Podcast is an award-winning, storytelling podcast in the Irish tradition of the Seanchaí which seamlessly intertwines history, fiction, cultural critique and politics into a relaxing form the creator calls “The podcast hug”.

Drawing upon his knowledge and chronic curiosity to democratise topics such as art, psychology, politics, science and music, for these live events, Blindboy will offer the audience a unique and humorous insight into issues which are perceived to be complex.
