Dale Kerrigan Announce Nationwide Tour + Share 'Amps For Everyone' China Tour Documentary

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone (including myself) who has witnessed Dale Kerrigan onstage has been blown away by their noise-rock sorcery, this gig-goer is aware of no exceptions. Reimagining Ōtepoti's staunch tradition of amp-frying subterranean skronk — whose sonic ambassadors have included The Dead C, Plagal Grind and more recently Wet Specimen / Opposite Sex — the four-piece of Shlee Nicholls, Joel Field, Connor Blackie and Josh Nicholls have announced a rare nationwide tour of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Toasting the fifth anniversary of their debut album Noise Bitch and touring their standout 2025 long player HEAVY GREASY, which released around this time last year (showbiz rules happily do not apply in Otago), we recommend you go see Dale Kerrigan letting rip in Tāmaki Makaurau, Ōtautahi, The Night Before Great Sounds Great festival in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, plus a secret hometown gig from late August onwards.

Special guests by Kiwese (Kristen Ng aka Kaishandao) on tour in China last spring, band member Joel Field documented Dale Kerrigan's first major overseas adventure.
