Spotlight: Trentemøller Debut New Zealand Shows

Just announced for Hobart's impeccably curated Dark Mofo festival, there's thankfully no need for local night dwellers to jump the ditch as Danish electronic producer / composer Trentemøller will soon be performing in Aotearoa for the very first time — playing headline dates in Pōneke and Tāmaki Makaurau in June 2023. Hailed as one of the best albums of 2006 by Resident Advisor, Anders Trentemøller's breakout debut long player The Last Resort was released amidst an outpouring of remixes of works by Röyksopp, Moby, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Knife and many more. Winner of a slew of awards in his homeland and even nominated for a Grammy, Trentemøller's wide-ranging oeuvre encompasses six studio albums and counting, plus a vast array of singles, EPs, and compilation releases.

Lovers of darkly atmospheric, industrial-tinted sonics, somnambulistic dream-pop / shoegaze and pulsing cinematic grooves will be making their pilgrimage to San Fran and The Powerstation, where Trentemøller will celebrate his 2022 album Memoria with live bandmates Disa, Silas Tinglef (2nd Blood), Brian Batz (Sleep Party People) and Jacob Haubjerg (Sleep Party People, Savage Rose). We advise grabbing tickets  for these very special events while you can...

Press release:

LIVE NATION and CRS MUSIC are thrilled to announce TRENTEMØLLER for several New Zealand shows, visiting Wellington’s San Fran on Thursday, June 15, and Auckland’s Powerstation on Saturday, June 17 and marking the first time the legendary musician will grace Aotearoa’s shores.

Danish musician Anders Trentemøller is known for pushing boundaries via ambitious full-lengths and live shows. Since his 1997 origins performing in Copenhagen’s nightclubs to releasing his first EP in 2003 and the critically acclaimed debut album The Last Resort in 2006, Trentemøller has been a staple of left-field electronica for over 25 years.

Trentemøller’s debut NZ shows come off the back of 2022 studio-album Memoria, and will be performed alongside a carefully curated 4-piece live band. Icelandic solo artist Disa performs vocals/guitar and possesses an ethereal voice to perform Memoria’s haunting vocal melodies, Silas Tinglef who releases solo music as 2nd Blood is on drums, Brian Batz, the man behind dream pop/shoegaze band Sleep Party People, is on guitar and Jacob Haubjerg, who has long been playing with bands like Sleep Party People and Savage Rose, takes care of bass.
