Upcoming Hobnail Gigs

Hobnail are back on the road!

In September/October 2026, Rob, Jo and Hamish will be out and about playing highlights from across their 30 year career, including tracks from their 2025 release "Three Part", featuring songs by some of their favourite NZ and Australian artists, including Don McGlashan, Dave Dobbyn, Cold Chisel and Nick Cave.

"Refreshingly down-to-earth and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family." Mike Alexander, NZ Herald.
With “Jo Moir's barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail's live show will make your feet move and your heart sing. 

In case you're wondering, yes we do still play as a five-piece too.  We have some great shows planned towards the end of the year with Caroline, Murray and a few special guests.
