Critically acclaimed Māori soul artist Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi (aka TEEKS) returns to Adelaide with a one-night-only performance at Her Majesty’s Theatre, as part of his largest Australian tour to date, celebrating the live performance of his new music from upcoming album Lovers Comet.
Globally recognised for his rich, raw vocal range and captivating storytelling, the multi-award-winning singer-songwriter has been likened to the male version of Adele by Vogue, found fans in acts such as Wu-Tang’s RZA, and made an undeniable global impact as one of New Zealand’s most successful musical exports.
His platinum certified 2017 debut EP, The Grapefruit Skies, introduced TEEKS as a rare visionary voice, earning him the Aotearoa Music Award’s Best Māori Artist honour. In 2021, his acclaimed platinum debut album Something To Feel solidified TEEKS’ magnetic star power, reaching #1 on the NZ Album Chart. The record saw TEEKS recognised as the Aotearoa Music Award’s Best Solo Artist, Best Soul/RnB Artist, and Best Māori Artist, as well as taking out the MTV European Music Award’s Best NZ Act 2021 and Rolling Stone AU’s Best New Artist 2022.
Last in Australia for performances in Sydney and Melbourne in February 2025, TEEKS has also performed at Adelaide’s WOMAD Festival (2019) and Sydney’s Vivid Festival (2022). TEEKS has established a dedicated community of fans around the world, accumulating more than 200 million global streams and 2.5 billion short form video views.
Don’t miss TEEKS’ return to Australia with a musical experience nothing short of the spiritual, in what is sure to be one of the most soulful shows of the year.
