- **Event Name**: Marlin's Dreaming - Wellington
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: A year and some change since touring HIRL, Marlin’s Dreaming will again bless Aotearoa’s main city centres for a short summer stint this January 2026.

Marlin’s Dreaming has long been associated with New Zealand’s balmier months, but this marks the band’s first summer tour since 2020, and a chance to play through the back catalogue of hits. 

Drawing songs from 2024’s sweet, nostalgia inflected album HIRL, the starry debut Lizard Tears, and the scores of sublime tracks between, it’s a chance for fans to get the complete Marlin’s Dreaming summer experience.

Renowned for their tightly choreographed live shows, the summer tour will add the talents of Tiare Kelly (Benee) on the keys &amp; vocals.  

“We’re joining to play a couple of great festivals in Slackbarn and Festival of Lights so wanted to take a moment to get out to Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington. As well as playing through our back catalogue, we also have new music to tease, that I’m really excited to try out live,” said Semisi Ma’ia’i frontman of Marlin’s Dreaming.

“It wasn’t until after booking these shows that I realised we hadn’t played a summer tour since 2020, which history has shown was one of the most significant things to happen that year.”

As well as its headline shows, Marlin’s Dreaming performs in the Hawke’s Bay at Slackbarn on January 10, and Festival of Lights in New Plymouth on January 11.
