Bic Runga(NZ)

New Zealand music icon Bic Runga announces the release date of her much-anticipated new album, Red Sunset, and an Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia national tour.

The tour will see her performing songs from the new album alongside beloved classics from her celebrated catalogue — from “Drive” and “Sway” to “Beautiful Collision” and beyond.

Bic Runga is one of New Zealand’s most treasured musicians — a songwriter and performer whose voice is woven into the soundtrack of Kiwi life. Known for her crystalline vocals and timeless melodies, she has spent more than two decades creating songs that feel both intimate and universal.

A multi-Tūī and Silver Scroll award-winning artist, and the youngest inductee into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame, Bic’s influence can be heard in a new generation of New Zealand musicians who grew up with her songs on the radio and saw in her a model of artistic independence.

In 2026, she returns with Red Sunset, recorded in Paris in the winter of 2025. Bic’s gift has always been her ability to turn personal truths into shared experiences, inviting listeners into her gentle, thoughtful, and beautifully human world.
