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.

Information:
Rob, Jo, Hamish, Caroline and Murray are joined by special guests Wayne Mason and Alan Norman for a night of musical fun and excellence. The last time this show happened was at St Peter's Hall 12 months ago, and it sold out quickly, so get in quick!
Hobnail have criss-crossed NZ for 30 years now, making toes tap, feet dance and hearts soar with their “illustrious blend of celtic, folk, country and rock”. Dazzling instrumentation, award winning songwriting, and “vocals so tightly knit they could be family” add up to a truly memorable performance.
Joined by national treasure Wayne Mason, and old mate and current Warratah, Alan Norman, the expanded 7-piece Hobnail will be playing 2 sets of favourites old, new, borrowed, but not so blue.
Oh, and it's Rob's 65th birthday!
Door open 7.30 for an 8 pm start.
