Shayne P. Carter
brings heralded solo show
to Waiheke Island on 24 April 2026

Star and central focus of director Margaret Gordon's must see 2025 rockumentary Life In One Chord — based on his multi-award-winning memoir Dead People I Have Known — Shayne P. Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer, The DoubleHappys) is bringing his solo tour to Waiheke this autumn. A natural extension of last year's hugely popular Te Waipounamu tour and December dates in Australia, Carter has announced a run of intimate-scale, limited capacity headline shows - and Waiheke is one of them. This performance covers his extensive songbook, a show he describes as “rather removed from folky strumming”.

"I became addicted to guitar pedals during the pandemic and sadly spent a lot of time watching music shop dudes on YouTube playing blues scales. But I brought some good pedals and I use some of them on the solo show to make my guitar sound better and more interesting."
