Dragon Tickets

Legendary rock band�Dragon�is thrilled to announce a very special tour of New Zealand to celebrate�their 50th anniversary. The tour, spanning seven incredible dates across the country, promises to be a�once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans and music enthusiasts alike.

After playing two sold out shows at Auckland�s Powerstation this August, the band decided that two�shows to mark their 50 year career were not nearly enough. Dragon's 50th Anniversary New Zealand�Tour will kick off in style at the�Invercargill Civic Theatre�on�April 12th, 2024. From there, the band�will travel across the South Island, gracing�Dunedin Town Hall�on�April 13th,�Oamaru Opera House�on�April 16, Christchurch Town Hall�on�April 18�and�The Trafalgar Centre�in�Nelson�on�Saturday April�20. Hamilton's Globox Arena�will be the next stop on�April 24th, followed by a memorable�performance at�Black Barn�in�Havelock North�on�April 25th. The tour will conclude with a grand�finale at the�Auckland Town Hall�on�April 26th.

Founded in 1973, Dragon has left an indelible mark on the music industry with their timeless hits like�"Rain," "April Sun in Cuba," and "Are You Old Enough?" Over the last five decades, the band's iconic�music has continued to resonate with fans old and new.

Formed in Auckland in 1973, Dragon quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting and�dynamic live acts in the country. Playing their first ever gig at The Great Ng?ruaw?hia Music Festival�in January 1973, alongside Black Sabbath, Fairpoint Convention and Split Enz, they endured�numerous line-up changes over the following years each time refining their sound to become the�Dragon we know today.

Todd Hunter, Dragon's bassist and one of the original members, expressed his enthusiasm for the�tour, stating, "New Zealand holds a special place in our hearts, and celebrating our 50th anniversary�with our fans in this beautiful country is an incredible honour. We can't wait to perform for you all�once again."

Very special guests�Hello Sailor�will join Dragon on all shows. Cut from the same cloth as Dragon,�Hello Sailor were and still are a phenomenal live band. �Blue Lady�, �Gutter Black�, �Lyin� In The Sand�,�and more, Hello Sailor rocked the country one pub at a time. With Jimmy Taylor, Paul Woolright and�original members Harry Lyon and Rick Ball at the helm, Hello Sailor are the perfect pairing for what�will be a tour for the ages full of nostalgia next April.

Dragon 50�is not only a celebration of the band�s existence, but also a celebration of your�relationship with Dragon songs. Each song is a trip down memory lane for young and old. Whether�you were right there during the early days singing away while watching the band live at the local pub,�or you became familiar with the songs by listening to your parents' record collection, these songs�have stood the test of time. Witnessing a Dragon show with the band in their current form triggers a�powerful emotional response, punters shoulder to shoulder belting out the classics as one.
