The Jesus Lizard Returning To New Zealand This October
The quintessential punk band of the 90's – the Jesus Lizard, returns to New Zealand shores for the first time in 27 years this October! Playing two exclusive shows only at Auckland's Tuning Fork and San Fran in Wellington on the 11th and 12th respectively.
After initially calling it a day in 1999, the Jesus Lizard officially return full time to save us from the current state of musical mediocrity with their latest album, Rack. A blistering resurgence of the so-called 'noise rock' they helped define alongside contemporaries Big Black, Flipper, The Birthday Party, with their previous and most noted albums Head, Goat and Liar. For those of us who live in fear of the reunion album and subsequent tour, the Jesus Lizard thankfully display not only the same chaotic and dark nihilism of their earlier careers but also the maturity and seasoning of a band riding a wave of renewed and reinvigorated form.
Once slated by famed engineer Steve Albini as 'the greatest band I've ever seen' the Jesus Lizard not only lived up to this lofty praise in their prime but continue to do so in their advancing years. David Yow still leads the charge as the maniacally possessed frontman entering crowds with reckless abandon and a stamina that much younger vocalists would kill for. The original rhythm section of David Wm Sims and Mac McNeilly further continue to prove why they were and are the best bass & drum combo since Jones and Bonham, anchoring the ship as Captain Yow and first mate Denison navigate the wild seas of their songs. And while he may not always feature (as he rightly should) on many modern music journalists 'best guitarists lists', Duane Denison could perhaps be the most innovative and idiosyncratic punk rock guitarist EVER. However, each member is a sum of their parts but combined they are as Albini also once said 'the purest melding of the sublime and profane.'
Whether you are a longtime disciple of the Jesus Lizard, seeing them when last here in '98, or perhaps your fandom is more recent and have only seen videos of their legendary live performances, you will know that these shows are not to be missed.
Tickets go on sale through moshtix.co.nz on Friday 8th May. But get in quick, these shows will sell out fast!!!!
Saturday 11th October 2025 – The Tuning Fork, Auckland (All ages)

🚨 Napoli end pre-season with narrow victory over Olympiacos
Serie A title holders Napoli have rounded off their pre-season preparations with a narrow 2-1 victory over Greek side Politano 16', Lucca 53' ; Chiquinho 90' Antonio Conte's side opened the scoring in the first half with an effort from winger Matteo Politano. There was concern for the hosts before the break, however, as striker Romelu Lukaku was forced off with what appeared to be a thigh problem. His replacement, Lorenzo Lucca, scored Napoli's second and final goal of the evening early in the second-half, following some clever play from Kevin De Bruyne. Conte's side appeared to be heading for a clean sheet, but conceded a late consolation as the clock ticked over into stoppage time, stemming from a Vanja Milinković-Savić mistake. Napoli will begin their Serie A title defence next weekend with a trip to face Sassuolo. Their first five league fixtures also includes tricky tests against Fiorentina and AC Milan. 📸 Giuseppe Bellini - 2025 Getty Images
