Laufey Announces Highly Anticipated New Zealand Debut This August!
Two years on from her extraordinary 2024 Australian visit, which saw the dual Grammy Award-winning artist sell out venues across the country within moments and add additional shows to satisfy demand, Laufey returns down under for her biggest shows to date this July and August.
Laufey 2026 New Zealand Dates Sold by Ticketmaster
- August 12, 2026, – Spark Arena, Auckland NZ
Laufey has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz and classical-infused pop music. She forges her singular version of pop music — one still rooted in her beloved influences, but which forgoes any strict standards or rules.
Performing an entirely sold-out Australian tour in 2024 – including a night at the iconic Sydney Opera House – Laufey’s ability to curate warm nostalgia has seen her charm audiences the world over. On her third Australian visit, Laufey returns with accolades aplenty; she has two Grammy Awards under her belt, an album in Billboard’s Top 20 (both for Bewitched), a Forbes 30 Under 30 designation, and was named one of TIME’s 2025 Women of the Year.
Currently taking her across A Matter Of Time live show across Europe and the UK, and with a much-anticipated Coachella appearance upcoming next month, Laufey continues her incredible trajectory. Don’t miss this phenomenal entertainer on tour in New Zealand this August!

Laufey 2026 Ticket Tips
Are there ticket limits in place?
There is a strict limit of four (4) tickets per customer for the presale and eight (8) tickets per customer for the General Public.
Please adhere to the published ticket limit. Persons who exceed the ticket limit may have any or all of their orders and tickets cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster at its discretion. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or any other information.
How do I purchase Accessible Seating tickets?
Accessible seats can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line: 09 970 9711. This phone number is reserved for patrons with accessibility requirements and can not process any other ticketing requests. Accessible tickets, both during presales and the general public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code with your request if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.
Venues are solely responsible for establishing their own accessible seating ticket policies. Availability and type of accessible seating tickets will vary by venue.
Will there be a queue in place prior to ticketing going on sale?
We expect that tickets to Laufey will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.
Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.
We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.
How will I receive tickets?
All tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are now digital, meaning you can easily access your tickets on your phone via the Ticketmaster app or mobile web browser via Ticketmaster.co.nz, add them straight to your phone’s ticket wallet, and share them with your friends and family.
Log into your Ticketmaster account and update your password if needed!
Get in early and ensure all your MyTicketmaster account details are up to date – from your password to your card details and your phone number.
Ticketmaster will regularly ask you to update your password to ensure the security of your account – you don’t want to get stuck having to change your password while the ticket timer is counting down during onsale as you can risk losing the incredible tickets you have secured.
Instead, now that you know you want to purchase tickets, log into your account and update your password today to ensure you are ready to nab those tickets.
