SOMBR Announces New Zealand Return with the You Are The Reason Tour
Pop-phenom superstar SOMBR has announced his return to Australia and New
Zealand for his You Are The Reason Tour, performing headline dates across April
2027.
Making his AU/NZ debut last December, SOMBR instantly sold-out dates across the
region and blew crowds away at the 2025 edition of Spilt Milk Festival. Having since
released his debut album I Barely Know Her and toured extensively across the
globe, SOMBR returns in 2027 as one of music’s most talked about new talents to
emerge in recent years.
Fast emerging as one of music’s most compelling new voices, SOMBR has earned
critical acclaim worldwide for his emotionally charged songwriting and genre-blurring
sound.

- April 27, 2027, – Spark Arena, Auckland
Dubbed as ‘Gen Z’s rockstar heir’, SOMBR is still, in many ways, the New
York-born artist who found his voice via a makeshift bedroom studio on the Lower
East Side and is, to this day, the sole writer (and co-producer) of his charttopping songs.
Releasing his debut album, I Barely Know Her mid-2025, co-produced by the
legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements), the album was met with
universal acclaim from fans and critics alike. With three of the singles charting
simultaneously on the Hot 100 – ‘back to friends’, ’12 to 12′ and ‘undressed’ all
also reached Platinum-certified status across North America, UK, Australia and New
Zealand – further cementing SOMBR’s status as one of the most exciting breakout
artists of his generation.

SOMBR 2027 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 SOMBR 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.
