\u201cWelcoming Chase & Status is another exciting and historic moment for our city.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving one of the biggest names in drum and bass choose Hamilton for an exclusive North Island show is a huge win for our city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will bring thousands of fans to Hamilton and create a fantastic atmosphere, with the benefits flowing well beyond the gates at Claudelands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton and Waikato Tourism general manager Nicola Greenwell said it was great to have \u201csuch a big name\u201d added to Hamilton\u2019s events calendar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey add real energy and vibrancy and reinforce Hamilton\u2019s reputation as a place to be, especially this coming summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New Zealand dates are supported by the Government\u2019s one-off Events Attraction Package.<\/p>\n

Chase & Status performed at Christchurch\u2019s Electric Avenue Festival in 2025, a sold-out co-headlining show with Luude at Auckland\u2019s The Trusts Arena in 2024, and Rhythm & Vines 2022.<\/p>\n
