After more than a decade away, Lenny Kravitz is finally making his way back to Australia — and he’s bringing plenty of soul, swagger, and stadium-sized energy with him. This November, the rock and roll icon will launch the Blue Electric Light Tour across New Zealand and Australia, marking his first shows here since 2012. Adding extra punch to the bill, Aussie rock heavyweights Jet will join as special guests.
The run kicks off in Auckland on November 15 — Kravitz’s debut performance in New Zealand — before hitting Sydney on November 18, Newcastle on November 19, Brisbane on November 21, Melbourne on November 25, and Mildura on November 28. The tour wraps with a huge closing set at Adelaide’s bp Grand Final on November 29.
It’s been a long road back. Planned tours in 2017 and 2020 were scrapped due to scheduling issues and the pandemic, making this return all the more anticipated. The timing couldn’t be better, with Kravitz riding the wave of his latest album Blue Electric Light, a record that’s been praised for blending his trademark rock-funk groove with fresh, modern flair.
Fans can expect a setlist stacked with his biggest anthems — from “Fly Away” to “Are You Gonna Go My Way” — alongside new material delivered with his trademark energy and charisma. With Jet opening the night, each show promises to be a full-throttle celebration of rock, soul, and pure live electricity.
