The original ‘wild one’ of rock, IGGY POP along with the Queen of Rock JOAN JETT and THE BLACKHEARTS, and Kiwi favourites, ZED will headline the Summer Concert Tour.
IGGY POP
Considered by many the ‘Godfather of Punk’ IGGY POP is widely acknowledged as one of THE most dynamic stage performers of all time. He has built a legendary career filled with both critical acclaim and fanatic cult success. This year alone Iggy has performed numerous festival and headline dates across Europe followed by a recent North American tour, he has also just been confirmed for 2026’s Coachella Music Festival.
A fearless and legendary rock front man known for his outrageous, unpredictable and physically demanding stage performance, Iggy’s recent set lists have focused on his classic material with songs like ‘T.V. Eye’, ‘Raw Power’, ‘The Passenger’, ‘Lust for Life’ and fan favourite, ‘Real Wild Child’ as well as showcasing songs from his 2023 album ‘Every Loser’.
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS
JOAN JETT grew up during a time when Rock ‘n’ Roll was off limits to girls and women, but as a teenager, she promptly blew the door to the boy’s club right off its hinges. After forming her band with the Blackhearts in 1979, she has had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics ‘Bad Reputation’, ‘I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll’, ‘I Hate Myself For Loving You’, and ‘Crimson and Clover’.
Described as the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Godmother of Punk”, Joan Jett is celebrated for her rebellious spirit, fierce performances, and raw powerful music. Jett along with her band The Blackhearts will be coming to Aotearoa in 2026.
ZED
ZED were an essential part of the soundtrack to New Zealand life between 1999 and 2004, amassing an impressive ten Top 40 hits during the height of their career. The band — still performing with their original line-up — has matured into a powerhouse live act. Fans can expect timeless favourites like ‘Renegade Fighter’, ‘Hard to Find Her’, and ‘Glorafilia’, alongside fresh new material that reaffirms their place as one of New Zealand’s most enduring rock bands
