Donny Benét Returning to New Zealand in April 2025

Sydney sensation Donny Benét today makes dreams come true for Aotearoa fans, announcing his impatiently awaited return to our shores with headline dates lined up for Tāmaki Makaurau's Double Whammy and Pōneke in April 2025. Last here in late '23, the endearingly self-effacing "D grade celebrity and industry stalwart" is back touring his sixth studio album Infinite Desires, an immaculate cocktail of dancefloor-burning boogie-funk, sparkling city pop, passionate reflections on love, and no-holds-barred political commentary — "a vision that embraces a diversity of experience, from elation to introspection, from disquiet to unbridled ecstasy".

Catapulted to worldwide fame via the back-to-back success of 2018's The Don and 2020's Mr Experience — boosted further by The Weeknd including 'Konichiwa' in his Handpicked Playlist — Benét's 2022 all-instrumental Le Piano EP landed him the Australian Independent Record Award for Best Independent Jazz Album or EP, whilst the aforementioned Mr Experience was ARIA Music Award finalist in both the Best Adult Contemporary Album and Best Cover Art categories. An in-demand instrumentalist (who walks viewers through his tunes in an ongoing series of bass-centric YouTube clips) and impresario of Donnyland Records, don't miss your date with The Don and his sax artist this autumn...
