ABC

UK pop legends ABC have announced their very first New Zealand tour, with concerts at The Civic, Auckland on Thursday 4 March and St James Theatre, Wellington on Sunday 7 March, 2027. The tour is proudly presented by Plus1 and The Breeze. ABC, fronted by Martin Fry, lit up our dance floors from 1982 onwards, spawning five Top 20 NZ hits including 'The Look Of Love', 'Poison Arrow', 'All Of My Heart', and 'When Smokey Sings'. Their debut album The Lexicon Of Love was No.1 in New Zealand for 3 weeks and remained in the album chart for 33 weeks. The band will also perform at Selwyn Sounds festival on Saturday 6 March as part of their New Zealand tour. “ABC’s Martin Fry is a revelation, a soul man supreme, belting out pristine Vegas glitter pop and uptown House in his electric blue lounge suit. An ageless performer, Fry is the missing link between Bryan Ferry and Jarvis Cocker. For the inevitable encore of ‘The Look of Love’ he returns dipped in sparkly gold lamé, a self-ironising pop genius on top form.” – Stephen Dalton NME
