For the first time, beloved New Zealand band stellar* will perform their Mix album in its entirety, in honour of the multi-platinum album’s 25^th anniversary.

Stellar* fans can also look forward to the band performing favourites from their other albums Magic Line and Something Like Strangers.

The New Zealand tour – announced on 8 August 2024 (exactly 25 years since the release of Mix) sees the album's line-up – Boh Runga, Andrew Maclaren, Kurt Shanks, Chris van de Geer – performing together at:

Friday 28 March, Q Theatre, Auckland
Saturday 29 March, The Piano, Christchurch
Sunday 30 March, Old St Pauls, Wellington.

Stellar* will take a deep-dive into the Mix album, performing every song, including hits Violent, Part Of Me, Every Girl, What You Do, and Undone, through to hidden gems like Slow Burn, Breather and If You Lied.

Mix – produced by Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey - reached Number 1 in New Zealand’s album chart, sold 80,000 copies (5x Platinum) and charted for a staggering 42 weeks. At the subsequent NZ Music Awards, stellar* won 7 Tui awards.

The album catapulted them on to a 9-date tour across Australia and New Zealand with Alanis Morrisette and Garbage; tour dates in Europe, as well as their own sold out headline shows throughout the country.
  

Their next two albums Magic Line and Something Like Strangers were also hits on the charts and with the critics - cementing the band’s status as innovative blenders of electronic sounds, rock, and hook-laden melodies.

Since reforming in 2017 to perform Maxine at the NZ Music Awards as a tribute to Hall of Fame inductee Sharon O’Neill, the band has played major festival dates alongside Billy Idol, Shihad, Dragon, Dave Dobbyn, LAB and more.
