Tour News - Poneke's Riiki Reid to join Rob Thomas on his ‘The All Night Days Tour’ - November 2025

Rob Thomas said of his selection of Reid: “I love being able to give that support back to a local artist. Through all of the shows in New Zealand we’re going to be having Riiki Reid; singer, songwriter and dance choreographer. She’s had a bunch of hits all through New Zealand and even a #1 hit called ‘Good Times’ so make sure you get there early so you can check out Riiki Reid!”
