Te Whare Tīwekaweka - Aotearoa Tour 2025
Marlon Williams (Kāi Tahu, Ngāi Tai) is about to release his first Māori language album, Te Whare Tīwekaweka, (out April 4) and today (26 February), also announces a 11-date album tour of Aotearoa. Performing with his long-time band The Yarra Benders as well as some special appearances from some of the album’s collaborators, Marlon Williams will bring Te Whare Tīwekaweka to life across the main stages in our most illustrious theatre venues.
In another first, Marlon will make his debut headline appearance at Tāmaki Makauru’s Spark Arena this Matariki in what promises to be a sparkling and spectacular arena show.
Opening all shows throughout Aotearoa is Marlon’s dear friend KOMMI. KOMMI (Kāi Tahu, Te-Āti-Awa) is a non-binary solo music artist, recording and performance collaborator, writer, poet, and a lecturer in Māori and Indigenous Studies and Te Reo Māori at the University of Canterbury and Lincoln University.
