Rufus Wainwright 20th Anniversary Tour

Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and composer Rufus Wainwright will play two highly anticipated New Zealand dates in March 2019, as part of his 20-year anniversary “All These Poses” tour.

NZ tour dates Auckland Town Hall (March 2) and The Opera House, Wellington (March 3). For these special anniversary shows, Rufus and his band will perform material from both Rufus Wainwright (1998) and Poses (2001) – two critically acclaimed albums featuring fan favourites like Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk, Poses, April Fools. California, and Foolish Love.

It was his self-titled debut which first burst him onto the music scene. Immediately beloved, both Rufus and the record were widely hailed as a breakthrough. It influenced many artists that came after him and set the path for his illustrious career ever since.

“20 years, what can I say?” states Rufus. “In life, one stands the test of time but in music, thankfully, one reaps the rewards. Come savour a very fine vintage of songs, those were some pretty good years!"
