Legendary kiwi band stellar* are back rocking Kiwi and Aussie crowds with 25 years of hits uniquely blending rock and electronica.
Their acclaimed live show – featuring the stunning vocals of singer Boh Runga - includes every one of the radio hits from their debut album 1999’s Mix – gems like 'Violent', 'What You Do (Bastard)', 'Undone', 'Every Girl', and 'Part of Me'.
And then there’s chart-toppers like 'All It Takes', 'Taken' and 'Star' (all off 2001's Magic Line album), 'For A While' and 'Whiplash' from their third album Something Like Stranger.
Their interpretation of Sharon O’Neill’s song Maxine has become a firm favourite with the fans, and look forward to a surprise or two from other favourite artists’ songbooks.
Stellar* became Sony Music NZ's highest selling Kiwi band, collecting eight NZ Music Awards along the way. All three albums charted within the top 10 of the NZ Album Chart, securing their status as a classic mainstay in the New Zealand music scene.
Since reforming in late 2017 to perform Maxine at the NZ Music Awards as a tribute to Hall of Fame inductee Sharon O’Neill, the band has toured the country, played major festival dates (alongside Billy Idol, Shihad, Benee, Gin Wigmore, LAB, Hoodoo Gurus and more) and been in demand with radio and TV appearances.
The band still features the same line-up that released their first single on Sony Music NZ back in 1998, 'What You Do (Bastard)' - that’s Boh Runga (vocals, guitar), Andrew Maclaren (drums, programming), Kurt Shanks (bass) and Chris van de Geer (guitar).
In March 2025 they celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their debut album Mix, by performing the entire album on a three-date NZ tour.
