Following the release of his latest album, UK alternative artist Baxter Dury is bringing his Allbarone Tour 2026 to Australia and New Zealand. With genre-blurring music that blends post- punk, indietronica and art-rock, his sound leans on sleek synths and a cool, understated aesthetic rooted in a distinctly British sensibility. ‘Allbarone’ can be described as a nine-track tour-de-force, stripping everything away and building Baxter’s most melodically direct, futuristic collection yet.

Dury will come to New Zealand for performances at The Hollywood Avondale in Auckland on May 3 and Wellington’s Meow Nui on May 4.

We’re turning one!

What a year it’s been - and it’s all thanks to the people who’ve filled the room, stayed too long, and made the Tav what it is. And to celebrate, we are bringing all our favorite people who have helped us get off the ground together for one night only, along with some special guests.

To celebrate, we’re opening up both spaces for a full night of music, bringing back kitchen sessions and keeping the courtyard going from start to finish - with Svitlo Vodka (all the way from Ukraine) sponsoring the night.
