New Dates Announced for HELMET 30th Anniversary NZ Shows

New dates have been announced for alt-metal legends Helmet and their 30th Anniversary NZ tour.

Helmet has had to postpone their upcoming New Zealand tour, which was scheduled to take place in May, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The good news is that the promoter Eccles Entertainment, has rescheduled these shows in New Zealand to November 2020. All three shows are still going ahead –

Monday November 16 at The Studio in Auckland,
Tuesday November 17 at Meow in Wellington and
Thursday November 19 at Cassells Blue Smoke in Christchurch.

There’s nothing punters need to do to organise new tickets, as all tickets remain valid for the new dates.

Existing ticket holders will be contacted by presenting partner and ticketing agent, Under the Radar, via email regarding the postponement and information for those who can’t make the new dates.

Tickets for the rescheduled shows are available now from www.undertheradar.co.nz

Helmet was formed in New York City in 1989 by founding members Page Hamilton, Henry Bogdan, Peter Mengede, and John Stanier. The group soon after signed to Ampthetamine Reptile Records and released their first full length STRAP IT ON in 1991. Interscope Records soon came calling and signed the band in 1992. Their label debut MEANTIME went on to sell over a million copies and earned a Grammy nomination.

The band has released eight albums over the last 30 years and has gone through different personnel before settling on the current lineup of Page Hamilton, Dan Beeman, Dave Case, and Kyle Stevenson – which has proven to be the most consistent and longest running iteration of the band.

The band has also contributed music to a number of films including Johnny Mnemonic, The Crow, Feeling Minnesota, The Jerky Boys, Gun Crazy and Judgement Night (a collaboration with hip hop group House of Pain). Their most recent album DEAD TO THE WORLD was released in 2016 by German-based label earMusic.
