"Smoooth" Single Release Show - Ōpunake

Too funky for folk and too folky for funk — that’s Sonic Delusion’s happy, funky, and groovy indie pop. To celebrate the release of his new single “Smoooth” (out Friday 7th November 2025), the vibrant Swiss-Kiwi performer is hitting the road for a six-show tour across the North Island.

Armed with his trusty loop pedal and an array of instruments, Sonic Delusion layers beats, basslines, and melodies into a boogielicious live performance “bursting with more funk than folk can handle.” With over 1500 shows played across Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, and Germany, André Manella has built a reputation for turning every gig into a feel-good party — “funny, fresh and funky… a welcome breath of entertainment, joy, fun and smiles” (Graham Reid – Elsewhere).

Catch him live at:
Sat 15 Nov – Lakeside Playhouse, Opunake

Sun 16 Nov – Wood St, Kakaramea

Thu 4 Dec – Globe Theatre, Palmerston North

Fri 5 Dec – Firebird Cafe, Levin

Sat 6 Dec – Hilltop House Concerts, Wellington

Sun 7 Dec – Janette House Gig, Studio 73, Greytown

From Taranaki to the lower North Island, the “Smoooth” release tour promises catchy hooks, infectious grooves, and the perfect excuse to shake your worries away.

Show starts at 7.30pm
