The Flight of the Conchords tour of New Zealand has eight shows between 10 and 21 November 2026, and four of them still had tickets on sale as of 4 October: Christchurch on 12 November, the added Wellington nights on 15 and 16 November, and the closing show at Spark Arena in Auckland on 21 November.
It is Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement’s first New Zealand tour since 2012, and the demand showed. The first Auckland and Wellington dates went in three minutes on the day of general sale, the NZ Music Commission reported, which is why three extra shows were bolted on a few days later.
Which Flight of the Conchords shows still have tickets?
Four sold out and four were still available when we checked the tour page of promoter Eccles Entertainment on 4 October 2026.
- Sold out: Wellington 10 and 14 November, Auckland (The Civic) 18 and 19 November.
- Tickets available: Christchurch 12 November, Wellington 15 and 16 November, Auckland (Spark Arena) 21 November.
Spark Arena is by far the biggest room on the tour, so the 21 November show is the best bet for anyone who missed the first rush.

- Artist presale: 12pm Thursday 17 September to 12pm Friday 18 September 2026, for fans who signed up on 14 September. It is over, so there is no presale code to hunt for now.

- Ticket limit: four per show in presales and six in the general sale.
Is there a Flight of the Conchords tour in 2027?
No 2027 dates have been announced as of 4 October 2026. The only US shows this year were in Southern California in May, and the November run is billed as their New Zealand homecoming tour. Pages listing 2027 dates are guessing.
How the 2026 comeback happened
- June–July 2012: their last New Zealand tour.
- 2018: UK and Ireland tour and the HBO special Flight of the Conchords: Live in London.
- April 2026: five small warm-up shows at Meow Nui in Wellington, their first live shows in eight years.
- 7 May 2026: Santa Barbara Bowl in California, with Arj Barker as special guest.
- May 2026: two sold-out nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival. That is the Netflix link people search for. It was a festival appearance, not a new Netflix series.
- 14 September 2026: the New Zealand tour is announced.
- 21 September 2026: three extra shows are added after the first dates sell out.
Where are Flight of the Conchords from?
Wellington.

Their debut album The Distant Future won the Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2008, and McKenzie later won an Oscar for the song “Man or Muppet” from The Muppets.
