After a dream start to 2023, opening for all six of Ed Sheeran’s Multiply (+-=÷ x) tour dates in New Zealand, including a record breaking show at Sky Stadium, Wellington and two packed nights at Auckland’s Eden Park, Kaylee Bell is now taking her incredible full live band show on the road throughout Aotearoa this May and June.

Despite having performed at various festivals (Rhythm n Vines, CMC Rocks) and opening for some of the world’s biggest artists both here and abroad, this will be Bell’s first headline tour of her home country. As Bell explains, she can’t wait to get out and see fans throughout the country….

“It’s always been a dream to tour through NZ playing my music to people and we can’t wait to get to play both islands and meet as many people as we can out on tour. Music is about bringing people together and I can’t wait for this tour to do that. This year has started off in an incredible way playing stadiums with Ed Sheeran and we can’t wait to carry that on playing shows around NZ.”

Debut headline tours don’t get much better than this, with Kaylee Bell’s first ever tour of New Zealand expanding to 16 dates nationwide with the announcement of a further seven dates! In Northland, the local More FM breakfast team have been campaigning to get a show with each host wearing a pair of boots day and night for the last week until Bell confirms a show and as a result, Bell delivers with TWO shows being announced for the region. The Turner Centre Kerikeri on Friday 26 May and The Butter Factory in Whangarei on Saturday 27 May.

Auckland singer songwriter Cassie Henderson will support Bell on all dates nationwide. A natural storyteller, Cassie’s distinctive voice envelops and invites you into her lyrical world. Her narratives encompass her years of growth, trials and triumphs, and ultimately speak to the young people of her generation - musically and personally. She continues to write some of her most intimate and honest pieces, while developing a live show which feels so personal, that you could be catching up with an old friend. Currently recording her first EP, this is only the beginning for Cassie Henderson.

Whilst this is Bell’s first headline tour of New Zealand, she has enjoyed overwhelming success over the past few years both locally and internationally. Last year, her hit ‘Keith’ written as nod to country music super star and one of her biggest inspirations Keith Urban, topped the Australian country airplay charts for five weeks and propelled her to becoming the most streamed female country music artist in Australasia. A proudly independent artist, Bell also featured on 2022’s season of The Voice Australia blowing the judges away with her performance of ‘Keith’, including judge Keith Urban himself. The video of her performance went viral online racking up over 1.9 million views on  YouTube and the single has amassed over 15 million streams on Spotify alone.

There’s much more to Kaylee Bell though. She has set the stage alight the world over, playing across the USA, Europe, playing the main stage at Australia’s 22,000 capacity sold-out CMC Rocks festival, she’s opened for Keith Urban, The Chicks and SIX60, and headlined Coca Cola Christmas In The Park.

Don’t miss your chance to catch our brightest star in the making on her first ever tour of New Zealand.
