Tour News - Daily J - Announce 'One For The Road' New Zealand Tour Ahead Of Move To Australia
Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland-based indie darlings Daily J have announced their 'One For The Road' New Zealand tour before making the jump across the ditch to Australia later this year. The eight-date run will see the band bid farewell to their Aotearoa fans in style, performing in both regional and metro centres throughout June and July 2025.
Kicking off in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, the band will wind their way through Ōtepoti/Dunedin, Wānaka, Tāhuna/Queenstown, Tauranga, Whāingaroa/Raglan, Ngāmotu/New Plymouth, and wrap up with a final hometown hurrah in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland. For this final lap around Aotearoa, the band is also inviting fans to help curate the setlists by submitting song requests, making each show a unique and personal celebration of the journey so far.
"This tour isn't a goodbye - it's a big thank you to the place that made us and the people who've had our backs since day one. We're stoked to dust off some older tunes we haven't jammed in years - it's gonna be a huge set. We're jumping the ditch to kick off the next chapter, but first, we want to put on one hell of a show for our home crowd," said the band.
Born in Marlborough and currently based in Auckland, Daily J - comprised of brothers Jayden, Jonny, Jesse and long-time friend Rick - have spent the past few years building a loyal following across New Zealand and abroad. With their signature blend of dreamy indie-rock textures, warm fuzzy-grooves, and pop-laced electronica, the band has made a name for themselves as one of the country’s most exciting live acts.
Their recent album 'Scatterbrains' has quickly cemented itself as a career-defining release. Recent singles 'Cheap Tequila Sunrise,' 'Sunday Stitches,' and 'Tastes Like Forever' have already resonated strongly across platforms and live audiences alike with strong support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Apple Music, Rolling Stone Magazine, NME, Ones To Watch and many more.
With a fresh chapter on the horizon, the Farewell New Zealand Tour is a special opportunity to catch Daily J one last time on home soil before they begin their next adventure.
Tickets go on-sale Tuesday, May 20 – 1PM NZDT.
