Kaylee Bell announces ‘Cowboy Up’ Tour

New Zealand country-pop sensation Kaylee Bell is saddling up for her boldest live outing yet, announcing a five-date national tour this November under the banner ‘Cowboy Up Tour’ — a full-scale theatre run that marks the biggest headline shows of her career.

The announcement caps off a milestone-packed 18 months for Bell. With a Best Female Artist win at the 2024 Golden Guitar Awards, a Global Country Music Artist trophy at the 2023 CMA Awards, a chart-topping album (Nights Like This), a breakout live set at CMC Rocks Queensland, and the arrival of her first child — the momentum behind Bell is unstoppable.

Now, she’s bringing her celebrated mix of Nashville polish and Kiwi grit to some of the country’s most iconic stages:

• Tuesday 4 November – Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington
• Saturday 8 November – The Civic, Auckland
• Thursday 13 November – Civic Theatre, Invercargill
• Friday 14 November – Regent Theatre, Dunedin
• Saturday 15 November – Christchurch Town Hall, Christchurch

Tickets go on sale Monday 7 July at midday.

Fans can expect a high-energy show built around Bell’s powerhouse vocals and genre-blending country-pop hits — including the viral anthem “Cowboy Up”, the swaggering “Red Dirt Romeo”, and fan favourites like “Boots N’ All” and “Good Things”.

“This tour is a dream come true,” says Bell. “These venues are iconic, and to be playing them with my own show is something I’ve worked toward for a long time.”

The Cowboy Up Tour also marks Bell’s first Wellington headline show since 2023 and her debut in venues of this scale across all five cities — a major moment in her journey from small-town songwriter .

Dust off your boots — Kaylee Bell is riding into town.
