Aotearoa reggae favourites Corrella are bringing the heat to Newcastle, with the band set to headline the Hamilton Station Hotel in January 2027 alongside US roots-reggae outfit The Elovaters.
The Newcastle show will form part of Corrella’s biggest Australian headline tour yet, with the nine-date run kicking off in Geelong before travelling around the country.
Corrella have spent the past few years becoming one of New Zealand’s hottest live acts, propelled by their breakout hit Blue Eyed Māori.
The laid-back earworm spent more than 50 weeks at Number One on the Official NZ Top 20 Singles chart, setting an all-time record, while the band have continued building momentum through tours, festival appearances and support slots with the likes of UB40 and L.A.B.
The band’s sound draws on South Pacific-inspired roots and reggae, with funk, soul and pop-rock also woven into the mix.
Their 2024 album Skeletons was named among Rolling Stone’s 50 Best New Zealand Albums of 2024, while recent releases including Under The Covers and Not I have offered a taste of the new material Corrella will bring to Australia.
Joining them for the Newcastle show will be The Elovaters, a Boston-formed roots-reggae band whose catalogue has amassed more than 600 million streams worldwide.
Their 2018 album Defy Gravity topped both the Billboard and iTunes reggae charts, while their latest album Shark Belly Motel has taken them from a sold-out Red Rocks headline show to a national Australian run with Corrella.
Corrella and The Elovaters will play the Hamilton Station Hotel in Newcastle on Tuesday, 26 January 2027. General tickets go on sale Friday, 9 October at 10am via Live Nation.
