It’s been 17 years since Pete Murray last graced Kiwi stages. 

The 3x number one album selling Australian singer-songwriter has announced a 55 date tour in Australia – including four stops in New Zealand. 

He’ll be in the country next month, bringing just himself and his guitar.

Murray told Mike Hosking that although he last performed here 17 years ago, he’s made the journey across the ditch much more recently.

“Loved New Zealand, getting back over there and holidaying with the family just recently too,” he said.

“In fact, when Covid hit a few years back, I got the last flight out of the place back to Australia.”

Murray joked that they were probably disappointed to get the flight, saying it would’ve been nice to stay in the country during lockdown.

But he told Hosking that 17 years without performing here is too long. 

“I’m going back to correct that now, so, looking forward to it actually.” 

“It’s going to be good fun.”
