Hawai‘i roots reggae artist
Mike Love returns to New Zealand this October for a five-date solo headline tour
Marking his first Aotearoa run in support of new music and setting the stage for his upcoming appearances alongside Katchafire on their Revival World Tour across Australia this October and November.
Known for his one-man-band live show – built entirely in real time with guitar, keyboard, melodica and a pedalboard loaded with loopers – Mike layers bass lines, beatboxed rhythms and harmonies live on stage with nothing pre-recorded. Blending roots reggae with rock, soul, blues, folk and hip hop, he calls it his own “revolutionary consciousness music.” Off the back of his 2025 album Teachers, and with 250-plus shows a year under his belt through his own label, Love Not War Records, Mike brings that genre-blurring solo show to five New Zealand cities this October.
“Aotearoa is one of my absolute favourite places on Earth. The people, the culture, the land, it’s such an indescribably epic place. I’m overjoyed to finally be able to make it down to the South Island as well this time, which will be a first for me, as well as return to Wellington for the 2nd time. Every one of these shows will be so special and I look forward to them with all my heart.” – Mike Love
We are excited to welcome Māmā Mihirangi in support - blending ancient chants, traditional instruments, and intricate vocal harmonies with contemporary live-looping beats.
