Avalanche City + Mountain Boy

Fresh off a completely sold-out 2025 New Zealand tour, Avalanche City returns with a renewed creative spark and a live show that highlights the heart of Dave Baxter’s songwriting.

Since breaking through with the global hit Love Love, Love, followed by another #1 hit Inside Out, Baxter has become known for his warm, cinematic indie-folk.
His performances are intimate, engaging, and full of the storytelling that has earned Avalanche City a devoted following.
Joining the tour is Mountain Boy, an NZ Folk-Rock artist who has made waves internationally with their EP From The Dust and self-produced debut album The Days. Mountain Boy has toured with The Paper Kites, Ziggy Alberts and Boy & Bear and sold out headline shows locally. If you were lucky enough to attend a show in the Avalanche City 2025 sold out NZ tour, you may have caught a glimpse of his multi-instrumental genius, on this tour he will be returning with a full set.

Audiences can expect a powerful blend of fan favourites and new material, an evening shaped by honesty, connection, and the unmistakable charm of Avalanche City + Mountain Boy.
