Greenstone Summer Concert Tour update: Whitianga event not proceeding

Published on 19 November 2025

Greenstone Entertainment has announced that the 2026 Summer Concert Tour date planned for Whitianga is being moved to Auckland.

The concert had been scheduled for Monday 26 January (the Auckland Anniversary public holiday) at the Sherriff Block, a recently completed Council-owned open-air venue in Whitianga. However, Greenstone Entertainment has advised that it has opted to shift the Coromandel leg of the tour to Auckland’s Spark Arena on Thursday 29 January.

The Summer Concert Tour has been a much-loved fixture of the Coromandel’s summer events calendar for many years, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and contributing to the vibrancy of the region.

“For many years, the Summer Concert Tour has been a regular event on the Coromandel calendar, bringing world-class artists to Whitianga,” said Mayor Peter Revell. “While we’re disappointed the event won’t be happening here this year, we understand Greenstone's decision. We will continue to maintain our contact and relationship with them as they develop their plans for the summer of 2027.”

Ticketing information

Greenstone Entertainment has confirmed that patrons holding tickets for the Whitianga show can transfer their tickets to the new Auckland event or the Taupō concert at no cost or request a refund. The promoter will contact ticket holders directly. All enquiries should be directed to Greenstone Entertainment.
