Bone Thugs-N-Harmony push out NZ dates to 2026
The US hip hop group were down for a one-off NZ show in October, but say studio commitments have forced them to hold off until May 2026.
Hip hop icons Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have shifted their New Zealand and Australia tour dates, a month before they were set to touch down.
“We’re still in the studio putting the finishing touches on the album so we’re pushing back our dates to May 2026," the band said in a statement on Wednesday.
The US crew were set to perform shows in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in October 2025.

"Hang on to your tickets, we can’t wait to party with you next year!" they wrote.
Tickets remain valid for the new dates, but fans unable to make the rescheduled shows are entitled to a full refund.
The Grammy-winning collective - Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone and Flesh-n-Bone - promise to tap into hits across their three decade catalogue.
Joining Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in New Zealand and Australia are hip hop legends, XZIBIT and TOO $HORT. NZ's only show will go down 8 May at Auckland's Spark Arena before heading to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
Earlier this month, rapper Snoop Dogg cancelled his one New Zealand show three days before it was set to happen.
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, Snoop Dogg will no longer be performing in Auckland this weekend,” one of the promoters, 4ward Entertainment, wrote on Instagram.
