Get ready for an absolute masterclass in punk rock, because The Rock is bringing Rise Against and Dropkick Murphys to New Zealand this November. The Chicago punk outfit is joining forces with Boston's favourite Celtic-punk rowdies for two huge arena shows in Christchurch and Auckland.
Rise Against - 2026 NZ Tour

Rise Against have built an airtight reputation in New Zealand over the past two decades, consistently delivering high-octane sets packed with political bite and massive singalongs. From early club gigs to packed arena stages, the Chicago quartet never half-asses a live show.
Adding Dropkick Murphys to the bill takes this tour straight into legendary territory. Boston's rock 'n' roll underdogs turned champions are famous for turning arena floors into chaotic, bagpipe-fueled celebration pits. Hits like I'm Shipping Up To Boston and The Warrior's Code were built for huge crowds screaming every word back at the stage.
Pairing these two powerhouses on the same ticket makes this an unmissable night out for any Kiwi who appreciates genuine rock energy. Both bands live and breathe live performance, meaning you can expect zero filler and maximum effort from the first riff to the final encore.
Tickets are on sale right now. Rally the crew and get your tickets sorted before both venues sell out, because this one is going to go off!
