US alternative-pop artist sombr has announced his New Zealand headline debut!
Shane Boose became sombr via a make-shift recording studio in his bedroom. His song ‘Caroline’ (released in 2022) became a sad girl anthem, taking the internet by storm. The track was self-produced, self-written and self-released when sombr was just 16, it has since been streamed on Spotify over 45 million times.

Sombr 2025 Ticket Tips
Are there ticket limits in place?
There is a strict limit of four (4) tickets per customer for the presale and ten (10) 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.
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.
