The Temper Trap

14 April 2016 – iHeartRadio New Zealand is excited to announce Australian rock band The Temper Trap will be performing a free live concert on May 9 at Auckland’s Powerstation.

The Temper Trap will play only one concert in Auckland before heading to the United Kingdom to perform at the Dot to Dot Festival.

NZME Group Entertainment Director, Dean Buchanan says, “We’re thrilled to announce The Temper Trap as the next iHeart show with 2degrees, as in the rock world, they are the ‘hottest ticket in town’ right now. Kiwis love their hits and their new material is already going off on Hauraki, so we’re lucky to have them”.

The Temper Trap released their new single Thick as Thieves earlier this year in February - a teaser to their album of the same name, due to be released on June 10. The band has sold over one million albums worldwide and graced the main stages of some of the world’s biggest music festivals.

This exclusive iHeartRadio concert is a rare chance for fans to catch the band consisting of Dougy Mandagi (vocals, guitar), Jonathon Aherne (bass), Joseph Greer (keyboards, guitar) and Toby Dundas (drums) in an intimate venue.

Frontier Touring are excited to announce the long awaited return of The Temper Trap to Australian stages, with confirmation that the band are heading home this May for special intimate concerts in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Rumour has it the shows will give Aussie audiences their first taste of the ARIA Award winning band’s highly anticipated third album, expected to drop in the not too distant future.

It’s been three long years since The Temper Trap last undertook a headline tour of Australia and four years since the release of their ARIA #1 self titled Platinum sophomore album.  That album spawned Platinum single ‘Trembling Hands’ and Gold single ‘Need Your Love’, while their 2009 debut album Conditions secured double Platinum sales in Australia and produced the three times Platinum anthem ‘Sweet Disposition’, in addition to Platinum singles ‘Love Lost’ and ‘Fader’.

The Temper Trap recently teased Australian audiences with the release of single ‘Thick As Thieves’ from their forthcoming album.  The track has already proven to be a favourite at radio with it jumping to high rotation on numerous playlists.  Sure to be a live crowd anthem, ‘Thick As Thieves’ is a tantalising glimpse of exciting things to come.

With over one million albums sold worldwide to date and main stage slots on some of the world’s biggest music festivals, these May Australian dates are a rare opportunity for fans to catch one of Australia’s most acclaimed bands in an intimate setting.

Don’t miss out on tickets when they go on sale on Wednesday 23 March at 10am (local time to venue).
