Mission Concert to mark Sir Rod Stewart's last major rock tour of NZ

Sir Rod Stewart will perform at Mission Estate Winery in Napier next year, in what will be the British rock star's last major rock tour of New Zealand. 

The British rock star will star at the famed winery for the third time, on Saturday, April 8 alongside special guest Cyndi Lauper.

The pair are the latest in a growing list of superstar artists set to play a Mission Concert next year which already includes Robbie Williams (booked for two shows in November) and Sting (set to play in March).

Stewart, 77, and Lauper will perform at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on April 5 before heading north to Napier to finish their New Zealand tour.

Stewart has played Mission Concerts in Napier twice before - in 2005 and 2012, and a third scheduled concert was cancelled during Covid.

“I’m so excited to return to your heart-stoppingly beautiful country,” he said.

“It’s been far too long since I performed there and I’m eager to celebrate being back with my Kiwi fans on my last major rock tour of New Zealand.

“And, with Cyndi Lauper on board, it’s going to be quite a bash.”

Tickets go on sale next Friday (November 25) at 11am for the Napier show. General admission tickets are $162.

Music lovers can expect to hear Sir Rod’s biggest hits including The First Cut is the Deepest, Maggie May, Every Picture Tells a Story, Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? among others.

Lauper will take to the stage for one hour playing all her most loved songs including Girls Just Want To Have Fun and Time After Time.
