Few songwriters forge the kinds of paths that Anthonie Tonnon has. Experiments with synthesizers and sampling may change his sonic palette, but a constant is his lyric-writing and shows that are creative works in themselves. Winning the Taite Music Prize for his last album, Leave Love Out Of This, Tonnon is returning with new music and a set that swaps the guitar for the vocoder, converts dual Synthstrom Deluges into honorary CDJs, and takes its performative cues from turn of the millennium dance culture, cinema, and the Situationist movement.
With over 45 years as a recording artist, Sir Dave Dobbyn has shaped the sound of Kiwi music, penning the soundtrack to generations of New Zealand lives. From iconic anthems to an extraordinary catalogue of deeper cuts, Dobbyn’s set promises an unforgettable journey through one of the nation’s most storied songwriting legacies.
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2022, Dobbyn declared it “business as usual” – and continues to inspire with his unmistakable voice and enduring presence on stage. Recognised with a Knighthood in 2021 for his services to music, Dobbyn remains one of New Zealand’s most revered cultural figures.
