Tour Announcements: Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon, PARTY & Cat Power

It has been a busy week for promoters, with a stack of new dates hitting the calendar. The headline news is definitely the arrival of Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon, who are set to bring their immersive sound to the Auckland Stardome. While fans will know this is a tribute performance rather than the original group, it remains a major draw for local enthusiasts. Not far behind in the hype stakes is PARTY, the project featuring Bloc Party members, who are confirmed for a show at El Horno in Wellington.

The variety of acts announced this week is impressive. For those chasing indie and singer-songwriter vibes, Cat Power is heading to the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch. Auckland is also set for a blast from the past with The Psychedelic Mixtape hitting the Stardome, while post-hardcore fans have La Dispute locked in for two dates across Wellington and Auckland.

Reggae legend UB40 will be returning to Spark Arena, and punk stalwarts Propagandhi have confirmed a night at The Powerstation. If your taste leans towards the heavier side, look out for Faith No More and System Of A Down sharing a bill at the Hnry Stadium in Wellington, as well as The Sisters Of Mercy playing The Powerstation.

For the classical and folk listeners, Agnes Obel and Dermot Kennedy have both announced intimate theatre shows. On the local front, we have Katchafire touring regional centres, and Jordan Rakei bringing his soul-infused sound to the Auckland Town Hall.
