Hans Pucket No Drama Aotearoa Tour Kicks off This Weekend!
It’s been a big year for Hans Pucket who write nervy but effortlessly danceable rock songs about feeling bad. Their second full-length album No Drama was released in late 2022 via Carpark Records (The Beths) to critical acclaim both in Aotearoa and abroad.
Now, the band are set to tour their album No Drama in New Zealand this winter with 13 shows around the motu.
The 13-date nationwide tour will commence with a special show at Nelson’s Boathouse 7 July and finish in their hometown of Wellington on 12 August. As well as Christchurch, Dunedin, Auckland and Wellington, the tour will also stop off at Hamilton, Tauranga and Gisborne plus Blenheim, Queenstown, Oamaru, Hastings and Whanganui.
“We’ve been dreaming of an extended tour of Aotearoa for years. Not just flying to the big cities but actually getting in a van and driving up and down the country. 13 shows is a lot, but we’re also playing on the Interislander twice, so I think that counts as 15!” – Oliver Devlin, Hans Pucket
