Loop are incredibly excited to announce that L.A.B’s Hamilton show will now take place in July at Claudelands Arena. After NZ’s huge effort surrounding the pandemic, these shows can now take place much earlier than planned, serving as a celebration for a return to Alert Level 1 and mass gatherings.

All tickets originally issued for the November 20th date remain valid, and the show will now take place on Saturday 11 July. The show remains sold out, will be the first event back in Claudelands Arena in over three months, and will serve as L.A.B’s largest headline performances to date.

Mikee Tucker of Loop says: “Being able to stage events again is a huge sigh of relief for the entertainment industry which has been brought to its knees over the past three months.”

Sean Murray, Hamilton City Council General Manager of Venues, Tourism and Major Events, says: “We are excited to reopen our doors to crowds once again – and what better way to kick things off than with one of the country’s hottest bands. The fact tickets got snapped up so quickly reflects L.A.B’s huge popularity and also shows that people have a real appetite for live New Zealand entertainment like this.”

Statement form The Promoter: “Special accommodations will be undertaken at each show by Loop, the ticketing companies and the venues to align with government protocol around COVID-19, and updates on COVID-related protocols and safety for these events will be issued as they come to hand. The safety of ticket holders is of the utmost importance, and everything possible will be done to ensure everyone is happy and safe at these events.”

As the original performance was sold out, ticket holders are encouraged to hold onto their tickets, as all issued tickets remain valid. All tickets initially issued through Eventfinda for The Factory and through Ticketek for Claudelands Arena also remain valid. Those who are no longer able to make this new date can get in touch with the relevant ticketing companies to arrange a refund.

With a double platinum-selling number one single, and over 20 weeks of dominating the radio charts, this show will see tracks from L.A.B’s ever-expanding back catalogue.

With support from Troy Kingi & The Upperclass, with his first performances since winning the 2020 Taite Music Prize, alongside exciting up-and-comers The Leers, who are gearing up to release a new EP.
