Two of the most influential names in rock are joining forces for a massive co-headline tour in 2026. American chart-toppers SHINEDOWN and British alternative legends BUSH are set to take over Auckland\u2019s Spark Arena this September, marking Shinedown\u2019s highly anticipated return to our shores for the first time in over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">At A Glance<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Artist: Shinedown + Bush<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Date: Thursday 17 September 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Venue: Spark Arena, Auckland<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Tickets: On sale Friday 13 March <\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">This tour is a rare chance to see two powerhouse acts on one stage. Shinedown arrives with a staggering 24 #1 rock hits and billions of streams under their belt. They\u2019ll be touring on the back of their eighth studio album, EI8HT, which frontman Brent Smith promises sees the band pushing their creative boundaries further than ever before. Expect a high-octane set featuring fan favourites like &#8216;Second Chance&#8217; and &#8216;Sound of Madness&#8217; alongside brand-new anthems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">Sharing the top of the bill is BUSH, the London-hailing legends who defined a generation with hits like &#8216;Glycerine&#8217; and &#8216;Machinehead&#8217;. With over three decades of shaping the alternative scene and a killer new 2025 record, I Beat Loneliness, Gavin Rossdale and the band remain one of the most electrifying live acts in the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">New Zealand Tour Date<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular mb-4 min-h-2\">Ticket Information<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Artist Pre-sale: Fri 6 March, 9am \u2013 Thu 12 March, 11am<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Early Bird Pre-sale: Tue 10 March, 10am \u2013 Thu 12 March, 11am<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">Spotify &amp; Venue Pre-sale: Wed 11 March, 11am \u2013 Thu 12 March, 11am<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words  verse-paragraph-md font-regular\">General Public: Friday 13 March, 11am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Secure Your Tickets: Shinedown and Bush Hit Auckland for One Night Only Get ready, New Zealand.
