Macy Gray Live

Thu

22 Oct

2026

Following her sensational sold-out 2024 tour, Macy Gray returns for her largest ever tour of Australia and New Zealand - and this time, Tauranga Arts Festival is proudly part of the journey. This is not just a concert tour - Macy Gray Live is a festival of soul. With over 25 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award, two BRIT Awards, and 10 studio albums spanning more than two decades, Macy Gray is one of the greatest R&B and soul artists of her generation - and Australia and New Zealand loved her first. I Try went straight to number one, while On How Life spent 44 weeks on the New Zealand Albums Chart - a long time before America fully caught on. Nobody puts on a show like Macy Gray. Expect a celebration of her chart-topping hits including I Try, Still, Do Something, Sexual Revolution, Sweet Baby, and so much more, plus her brand new single - the classic I'm Too Sexy from the upcoming album The Trouble with the Truth. Australia and New Zealand made Macy Gray a star. Now she's coming back to remind you why. Prices Admit One: $120.38
