One of Aotearoa's most influential voices, Che Fu, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of his landmark album Navigator with a special nationwide tour this October. An Evening with Che Fu & The Kratez will see the pioneering artist perform Navigator, alongside a career-spanning selection of favourites, joined by his powerhouse live band TheKratez and special guests Aaradhna, Betty-Anne and King Kapisi.

Released in 2001, Navigator debuted at No.1 on the New Zealand Albums Chart before going on to achieve multi-platinum status, cementing its place as one of the most important albums in New Zealand music history.

Inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame earlier this year, few artists have had the cultural impact of Che Fu. Throughout a career spanning more than three decades, he has consistently broken new ground, using music as a vehicle for storytelling, social commentary and celebration. His distinctive voice, thoughtful songwriting and genre-defying sound have inspired generations of artists and helped redefine what New Zealand music could be.

Don’t miss your chance to experience Navigator live, 25 years on.

Tickets are on sale Monday 3rd August 2026.
