Pendulum Tickets

MG Live and Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce one of the biggest electronic bands of all time, Pendulum, will return to New Zealand for a huge arena headline show this October! 

Promising new music on the horizon and with three Platinum albums to their name so far including renowned 2005 debut Hold Your Colour and a UK #1 and #2 for 2010’s Immersion and 2008’s In Silico, the Perth-born drum and bass/rock band – comprised of Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillien, Peredur ap Gwynedd and KJ Sawka – are one of Australia’s most successful musical exports, having sold over a million albums in the UK alone. Last performing on NZ shores in early 2021, today’s tour news comes in the wake of Pendulum’s brand new track, their first new material in over two years – ‘Halo’, out now and featuring Matt Tuck, lead singer of emo rockets Bullet For My Valentine.  

As a live band Pendulum are an unstoppable, award-winning act, selling out global arena tours and playing to thousands across main stage festival performances from Glastonbury, Creamfields, Coachella, Rock Am Ring, Reading and Leeds, and a recent headline slot at Ultra Miami. Tickets go on sale Friday 28 July via frontiertouring.com/pendulum. Fans can sign up for early ticket access to the Frontier Members Presale, which starts Wednesday 26 July (2pm local time – see website for more info).  

Fans should stay tuned for even more new music from the acclaimed outfit in 2023, Pendulum premiering ‘Halo’ at a sold out show at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace in June. Says frontman Rob Swire of the track, “When it comes to Pendulum, I’ve always tried to create music that sounds like the apocalypse and with ‘Halo’, we’ve gotten closer than ever before.” June 2023 also saw the band perform a massive set at UK’s iconic Download Festival, with fans and critics alike agreeing on the band’s epic live return: 

‘Pendulum are by far the best … the five-piece still have dynamism and dancefloor chops’ – The Guardian 

‘Donington’s hallowed turf has been rumbling since lunchtime yesterday, but no-one’s thumped it more emphatically than rejuvenated drum and bass supremos Pendulum… this set ultimately stands out as a boundary-busting celebration of how good it feels to lose yourself in a never-ending swell of sound’ – Kerrang 

Releasing debut Hold Your Colour in 2005, Pendulum became instantly known for their unique blend of high-tempo productions and energetic shows. The band set about taking the world by storm, and by the time 2008’s In Silico dropped, Pendulum was one of electronic music’s biggest live acts. 2010’s Immersion quickly became their biggest album release to date. After going on hiatus, in 2016 Rob and Gareth formed offshoot Knife Party, which reached similarly dizzying headline status. Now, the band are making their live return, and in August will take to the stage alongside nu-metal legends Limp Bizkit at a highly anticipated one day event in London’s Gunnersbury Park. 

Joining Pendulum at all dates is fellow Perth-bred drum and bass legend ShockOne, aka Karl Thomas. After wrapping a nine-date European tour in March and five shows in the US in May, Thomas returns with latest track ‘Heart On Fire’, featuring Pauline Kerr. Ever since the release of The ShockOne EP way back in 2009, which featured the chart-topping ‘Polygon’, ShockOne has been one of the hottest names in Australia’s dance scene… and now he’l join good pals Pendulum as they cross the nation this October. 

Gearing up for a monumental return to NZ this Spring, get set as Pendulum bring their stunning new live show down under at last. As one of the most influential dance acts of recent years, these shows are sure to be incredible. Secure your tickets ASAP to avoid disappointment!
