The NZ Highwaymen, a quartet of country music legends, are soon embarking on their 2024 tour, with the final of their 24 performances booked for little old Motueka.
The group is made up of Brendan Dugan, Eddie Low, Gray Bartlett, and Dennis Marsh, and their country music event sold more than 10,000 tickets during last year’s tour.
Tasman local Aly Cook, who is the group’s tour promoter and publicist, reports that a third of the tickets have sold already for the Motueka show in July.
Aly says that ticket sales have “gone nuts” after an appearance on Seven Sharp last week, with her prediction that the tour will sell out well in advance.
The Highwaymen have recorded more than 100 albums between them, many of which went gold and platinum.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see four of [New Zealand’s] most loved country artists performing together live on the same stage.”
Aly says that the winter tour will include a mix of old favourites and new songs in what promises to be a humorous and entertaining show.
The tour begins in Hastings on Thursday, June 6, with The Highwaymen’s Motueka performance scheduled for Sunday, 7 July at 2.30pm at Memorial Hall. Tickets are available here.
