Diesel holds a lasting connection with New Zealand music lovers, backed by a string of Top 20 hits including Tip Of My Tongue, Come To Me, Don’t Need Love, and Never Miss Your Water. His seminal album Hepfidelity soundtracked the early nineties across the country, soaring to Number 1 on the New Zealand charts in May 1992 and remaining in the Top 5 for an impressive 13 consecutive weeks.

What makes this tour exceptional is its spontaneous nature. Fans attending the Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington shows can log onto Diesel's website prior to the concert and submit their favourite tracks, including deep cuts, fan favourites, and unexpected cover songs. From Hendrix classics to modern pop anthems, no two shows on the tour will ever be identical.

Performing in intimate venues across New Zealand, the American-born, Australian-based musician will blend virtuosic guitar work with personal storytelling. VIP packages are also available for dedicated fans, featuring an exclusive pre-show soundcheck experience and meet-and-greet opportunity.
